abstract={The response surface methodology has been used to determine the optimum conditions for the Brilliant Green dye removal efficiency from aqueous solution by electrocoagulation. The experimental parameters which have been investigated were initial dye concentration: 100¨C500 mg/L; voltage: 4-12V; NaCl Concentration:0.5-1.5g/l and reaction time: 10¨C30min. These parameters were changed at three levels according to the Box Behnken Design to evaluate their effects on decolorization through analysis of variance. High R<SUP>2</SUP> value of 96.16% shows a high correlation between the experimental and predicted values and expresses that the second-order regression model is acceptable for Brilliant Green dye removal efficiency. Optimum dye removal efficiency of 99.0% was observed experimentally at NaCl concentration of 0.5008g/l, initial dye concentration of 500 mg/L, applied voltage of 4.0065V and reaction time of 12.22 min, which is close to model predicted (98.9997%) result.},
