Abstract

Electrochemical treatments are attracting research attention and are being increasingly used due to their efficient degradation of organic contaminants in wastewater. In this work a home-made, expanded dimensionally stable anode (DSA) electrode (Ti–IrO2) was used owing to its excellent catalytic activity, corrosion-resistant, and chemical stability. A mixture of supporting electrolytes was used to ease the treatment process by increasing the ionic conductivity of the reaction medium, which led to reduced energy consumption, improvement of the degradation efficiency, as well as a real sample was nearly simulated. The study focused on the electrochemical degradation and degree of mineralization of the total organic carbon of the textile dye Basic Yellow 28 (BY28). The pH, supporting electrolyte mixture concentration, and current density parameters were optimized. Furthermore, to assess the efficiency of the dye degradation, the intermediates generated via electrolysis were monitored using Fourier–transform infrared, ultraviolet–visible spectroscopic, and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry techniques. The results revealed that, color removal% of the dye, chemical oxygen demand (COD)%, total organic carbon (TOC)% (degree of mineralization), current efficiency, and energy consumption values were 94.3%, 72.1%, 73.5%, 65.7%, and 41.8 kWh (g COD)−1, respectively. Cyclic voltammetry results suggest that the redox process of the BY28 dye on the surface of the Ti–IrO2 electrode can be mainly attributed to diffusion mass transport followed by- product adsorption.
