    In this study, COD, turbidity, total nitrogen, phosphate, sulphate, oil-grease and chromium removals from wastewaters taken from a local tannery using the electrocoagulation process were examined and the most suitable parameters for the electrocoagulation system were tried to be determined. Soluble iron plate electrodes were used as electrodes in the experiments. As a result of the studies carried out, the most suitable initial pH in uncontrolled pH was determined as pH = 4 and for controlled pH as pH = 5. In studies, the most suitable current density for iron electrodes was determined as 1.2 mA cm−2. Even if the increase in current density increased the amount of dissolved Fe, it negatively affected the removal efficiency. In addition, the turbidity of the wastewater was removed in 30 minutes, phosphate in 20 minutes and chromium in 15 minutes by 100%. During 60 minutes of operation, while 62.91% of TN, 87.8% of oil-grease were removed, sulphate was removed at the rate of 54.78%. In the studies, 1st and 2nd order kinetic equations for COD removal were examined and it was determined that removal kinetic is more suitable for 2nd order kinetics.

    In this study, removal of colour from wastewaters prepared synthetically using Bomaplex Blue CR-L was investigated using raw and activated pumpkin seed shells by adsorption in a batch system. The effects of stirring speed, adsorbent concentration, dye concentration, temperature and pH on colour removal were investigated, and adsorption capacities of raw and activated pumpkin seed shells were determined. In addition, adsorption kinetics, isotherm coefficients, activation energies and thermodynamic parameters were calculated. The optimal adsorption conditions were determined as pH = 2, stirring speed of 200 rpm, adsorbent concentration of 10 g L-1 and 30 °C. Under the optimal conditions, the maximum removal efficiency of Bomaplex Blue CR-L using raw pumpkin seed shells was 73.01 %. This value rose to 79.71 % after activation processing was applied. Experimental adsorption data show that the adsorption is more suited to the Langmuir adsorption model and works in accordance with the pseudo-first-order kinetics model. As a result of thermodynamic research, ΔH° and ΔS° were 31.515 kJ mol-1 and 109.952 kJ mol-1 K-1 for the raw adsorbent, respectively. For the activated adsorbent, ΔH° and ΔS° were 43.118 kJ mol-1 and 152.237 kJ mol-1 K-1, respectively. The activation energy of adsorption was calculated as 10.918 kJ mol-1 for the raw adsorbent and 9.882 kJ mol-1 for the activated adsorbent.
