1. An electrocoagulation electrode, comprising:
a conductive material or a material coated with a conductive metal, or a material impregnated with a conductive metal;
cutouts along the outside edge; and
openings in the surface which pass through the thickness of the material;
further comprising a reaction cell casing wherein said casing has an inlet opening and an outlet opening;
wherein said electrocoagulation electrode may alternatively be an anode and a cathode as an electrical current polarity is repeatedly reversed through the electrocoagulation electrode wherein total cross-sectional area of all cutouts along the outside edge and all openings in the surface is less than the total cross-sectional area of the reaction cell casing inlet opening and the openings in the surface situated towards the center of the electrocoagulation electrode surface are smaller than the openings in the surface situated towards the outer edge of the electrocoagulation electrode and
wherein the openings are rectangular, hexagonal, or multipoint star shaped or circular.
