Electrolysis time, starting pH, and current density (CD) have all been examined for their effects. The sum of initial concentrations of 16 priority PAHs in PW was 160 g/dm3. At optimum conditions, including CD of 10 mA/cm2, pH 6, and electrolysis time of 4 h, maximum PAHs removal was 98 . The CD, starting pH, and electrolysis duration were all optimised using the RSM-based Box-Behnken (BBD) experimental design. The trials findings demonstrated that the quadratic model, based on BBD, was appropriate for the data (P value > 0.0001), and the suggested model was supported by a high R-squared value. The polynomial regression model was chosen as the best fit model for optimization in the current investigation based on ANOVA. Low probability values and the model's F-values suggested that the elimination of PAHs is important. According to the findings, electrocatalytic oxidation with a Ti/RuO2 anode is a potentially effective method for removing PAHs from aqueous solutions. © 2023 The Author(s) date: 2023 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Isa, M.H. and Ajab, H. and Yaqub, A.
