Electrochemical Treatment of Simulated Dye Wastewater

Abstract:

The Ti/SnO₂-Sb₂O₃/PbO₂ electrodes were prepared by thermal decomposition method and its application in the electrochemical degradation of a heteropolyaromatic dye, Methylene blue (MB), contained in simulated dye wastewater were investigated under mild conditions. The effects of pH, current density and electrolysis time on de-colorization efficiency were also studied. Chemical oxygen demand (COD) was selected as another parameter to evaluate the efficiency of this degradation method on treatment of MB wastewater. The results revealed that when initial pH was 6.0, current density was 50 mA·cm², electrolysis time was 60 min, Na₂SO₄ as electrolyte and its concentration was 3.0 g·dm³, the de-colorization and COD removal efficiency can reach 89.9% and 71.7%, respectively.
