** : In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have been recognized as powerful techniques. In this work, AI techniques such as artificial neural networks (ANNs), support vector machines (SVM), adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), genetic algorithms (GA), and particle swarm optimization (PSO), used in water and wastewater treatment processes, are reviewed. This paper describes applications of the mentioned AI techniques for the modelling and optimization of electrochemical processes for water and wastewater treatment processes. Most research in the mentioned scope of study consists of electrooxidation, electrocoagulation, electro-Fenton, and electrodialysis. Also, ANNs have been the most frequent technique used for modelling and optimization of these processes. It was shown that most of the AI models have been built with a relatively low number of samples (< 150) in data sets. This points out the importance of reliability and robustness of the AI models derived from these techniques. We show how to improve the performance and reduce the uncertainty of these developed black-box data-driven models. From the perspectives of both experiment and theory, this review demonstrates how AI techniques can be effectively adapted to electrochemical processes for water and wastewater treatment to model and optimize these processes.
