Abstract

In this paper the influence of Supporting Electrolyte and Substituents of synthetic dye and real polluted water by electrochemical oxidation method was investigated. Synthetic dye consisting of Fast Blue B Salt (FBBS) was used as a model compound. Electrochemical degradation processes were performed using Graphite as an anode and Stainless Steel (304) as a cathode. In the bulk solution, the strong oxidizing potential of the chemicals were produced when the polluted water was passed through the electrolytic cell. The effect of several experimental parameters: pH, Current, Nature of the supporting electrolyte and substituents at the aromatic ring on the degradation rate were investigated. The decomposition rate increases with the decrease of pH.
