COD and Direct Blue Dye Removing from Textile Wastewater by Electromechanical Oxidation Method
Keywords:
Electromechanical oxidation, textile wastewater, COD, direct blue dyeAbstract
An electrochemical cell is designed using a graphite plate as the anode and a stainless steel plate as the cathode with dimensions (7*4*0.3) cm'. The tests were performed on synthetic wastewater. Many experimental runs were done at different operating conditions (pH, concentration of electrolyte, and electrical supply voltage) to study the removal efficiency of electrochemical oxidation for the removal of COD and direct blue dye. The results indicated that the maximum removals were 89% and 98%for COD (chemical oxygen demand)and color respectively at pH 2, 500 mg/L NaCl concentration, and 5V electrical supply voltage.
