Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
This study is mainly focused on the electrocoagulation treatment of slaughterhouse wastewater for determining effects of the basic operating parameters such as current density, and supporting electrolyte dosage using iron electrodes. The performance of the cylindrical electrochemical reactor was evaluated in batch experiments. While one pole of the power supply was connecting to the reactor as an anode, the other was connected to a stirrer for operation as a cathode. Experiments were carried out by introducing the cattle slaughterhouse wastewater into the reactor and applying a certain amount of current to the circuit. The removal efficiency of the COD increased with increasing current density. The removal efficiencies of 51.3%, 53.8%, 59.9% and 61.2% were obtained for the current densities of 5, 10, 15, 20 mA/cm with the energy consumptions of 15, 48, 91 and 168 kWh/m respectively. However increasing the NaSO dosage, which was added as a supporting electrolyte, from 0.1 to 0.2 M has an adverse effect on COD removal. It can be concluded from this study that treatment of slaughterhouse wastewater can be achieved by applying electrocoagulation.
