Combining electrocoagulation with another process is a potential strategy for increasing the efficiency of water and wastewater pollutant removal. The integration of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) and electrocoagulation (EC) demonstrates improved performance. The mechanism of the EC combined with ozone (O₃), hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), sulfate radicals, electrooxidation (EO), Fenton/electro-Fenton, and UV is discussed. This review sheds light on EC-AOP hybrid processes in terms of their mechanisms, development, challenges, and their potential application for the removal of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs). The majority of the articles claimed improved performance of the EC process when combined with AOP as a pre-treatment, especially in terms of removing recalcitrant contaminants. For instance, the integrated EC-Fenton/photo-Fenton processes have been shown to be a promising treatment to virtually complete removal of the phenolic compounds in oil refinery wastewater. In EC-EO process, boron doped diamond (BDD) anode, despite being costly electrode, has the highest oxidation potential and is therefore the most suitable type for the mineralization of organic pollutants. PFASs are more effective at being removed from water through zinc and Ti₄O₇ electrodes in EC-EO treatment. Furthermore, the peroxone and synergistic effects between O₃ and coagulants played almost equal dominant role to removal of ibuprofen using hybrid EC-O₃. However, enough data for conducting these integrated processes at industrial scale or with real wastewaters do not exist, and so there is a lack for comprehensive and systematic approaches to address complexity of such systems. Although a great number of papers were focused on the degradation of effluents from different industries, viruses, and pharmaceuticals, there is not sufficient research in terms of the removal of herbicides, pesticides, microplastics, and micropollutants.

将电凝与其他工艺相结合是提高水和废水污染物去除效率的潜在策略。高级氧化工艺 (AOP) 和电凝 (EC) 的集成展示了改进的性能。EC与臭氧（O ₃）、过氧化氢（H ₂ O ₂)、硫酸根、电氧化 (EO)、Fenton/electro-Fenton 和 UV 进行了讨论。本综述阐明了 EC-AOP 混合工艺的机制、发展、挑战及其在去除新兴污染物 (CEC) 方面的潜在应用。大多数文章声称，当与 AOP 结合作为预处理时，EC 工艺的性能得到改善，尤其是在去除顽固污染物方面。例如，集成的 EC-Fenton/photo-Fenton 工艺已被证明是一种很有前途的处理方法，几乎​​可以完全去除炼油厂废水中的酚类化合物。在 EC-EO 工艺中，掺硼金刚石 (BDD) 阳极尽管是昂贵的电极，但具有最高的氧化电位，因此是最适合有机污染物矿化的阳极。EC-EO 处理中的₄ O _{7电极。此外，O 3}和混凝剂之间的过氧酮和协同作用对使用杂化EC-O ₃去除布洛芬起着几乎同等的主导作用。然而，用于在工业规模或使用真实废水进行这些集成过程的足够数据并不存在，因此缺乏全面和系统的方法来解决此类系统的复杂性。尽管大量论文关注不同行业、病毒和药物的废水降解，但在去除除草剂、杀虫剂、微塑料和微污染物方面还没有足够的研究。
