The textile industry plays a central role in economic development; however, the discharge of wastewater with diverse dyes poses higher risks to both ecosystems and human health. This study investigated the treatment of real-time reactive dye-based textile industrial wastewater using a hybrid electrocoagulation (EC) and adsorption (AD) process, with algal-derived activated carbon (AAC) as a novel adsorbent. AAC provides a sustainable and eco-friendly option for enhancing treatment efficiency, along with the EC process, compared with the stand-alone process.
