Reviewer 1 Report
The subject of this article is interesting. However, needs revision.
1. Check tables 2 and 4 carefully.
2. Include the equation number in the overall manuscript.
3. The authors need to check line number 468.
4. The authors should abbreviate the short terms properly in the manuscript.
5. The authors should include the summarized table for textile effluent dye and heavy metal removal using electrochemical process.
6. In table 5: Include more results related to various membrane filtration methods.
7. The authors should include the summarized table for textile effluent dye and heavy metal removal using a photocatalytic process.
8. The authors should give a comparison of the photocatalytic and electrocatalytic processes of text effluent dye and heavy metal removal. Which process is best for textile effluent dye and heavy metal removal?
9. The authors must add the mechanism diagram for the photocatalytic oxidation process.
10. Rewrite the conclusion part.
11. More typo errors in this article; check it very carefully.

Reviewer 2 Report
Dear Authors,
your paper is well done and interesting. You have done a lot of work collecting the data. Your information is new and of acceptable scientific quality.
Some minor remarks are as follows:
1. row 300: error; reference is missing.
2. row 500: not always AOP methods lower the toxicity of recalcitrant compounds. Under some circumstances, they can even increase these compounds' toxicity, mutagenicity, or carcinogenicity. Oxidation by-products can be more toxic than the initial compound. This information should be placed in the text.
3. Figures 6 and 9 are of not enough quality. Did you draw them by yourself have you got copyrights or permissions to use them?
4. In Table 2, you describe microorganisms capable of dye degradation. Please add an additional column and classify the organisms into bacteria, fungi, algae, etc. It will make these interesting data more visible.
5. In chapter 4, please put the Table and consider the pros and cons of ZLD methods, as you have made in the case of Table 5.
