Abstract

        The design of control systems is very important in industry. In this work processcontrol of the proposed electrochemical cell was applied. The results of experiments conducted on the electrochemical cell were taken as the operating data. The parameters affected on the removal process were feed flow rate, feed concentration, and current density. The process control was developed to produce an environmentally acceptable output of iron concentration. The dynamic model and the results of the calculated open and closed loops response curves with the suggested control mode of the electrochemical cell are presented using Matlab.
