Process of reducing organic content of brine which includes subjecting a brine solution containing an organic content to an electrochemical process for a sufficient period of time and at a sufficient voltage to reduce the organic content of the brine to obtain a reduced organic content brine. Also provided is a process for reducing organic contamination of brine in a chemical process comprising subjecting a brine stream of the chemical process to electrochemical oxidation to obtain a reduced organic content brine stream.
