Lead present in several industrial wastes has serious effects on water quality. The objective of this study was to evaluate cathodic deposition as a method for lead removal from industrial wastewater. A lab-scale electrochemical cell incorporating flow-by porous graphite electrodes was employed under steady-state conditions. Various parameters, including flow rate, current density, lead influent concentration, and pH, were systematically investigated to assess their impact on lead removal efficiency, current efficiency, removal rates, and cell potential. The results indicated that a maximum lead removal efficiency of 97.75% was achieved at a flow rate of 100 mL/min with an initial lead concentration of 40 mg/L, resulting in a residual concentration of 0.9 mg/L and a maximum current efficiency of 60.7%. Additionally, the recovery of lead from wastewater was also examined, highlighting the effectiveness of the flow-by porous electrode method in treating industrial wastewater contaminated with lead.
