Application of Electrocatalytic Technique to Degrade the Color of Tea Wastewater

Article Preview

Abstract:

The color elimination of real tea wastewater by the electrocatalytic system was investigated. The electrocatalytic system composed IrO2 electrode as the anode and DSA electrode as the cathode under the current density of 40 mA cm-2. Various concentrations of NaCl and wastewater volumes were tested to understand their effects. For the effect of NaCl addition, the color removal efficiency increased 25% under the condition of NaCl addition. The relatively proper operation was 0.25 M NaCl and 1.0 liter wastewater, which caused the color removal efficiency up to 85%. Based on this color removal efficiency, the tea wastewater of 1.0 L consumed the electricity of 0.03KWh.
