Overview

Comparative laboratory experiment demonstrates superior dye discoloration and mineralization using photoelectro-Fenton processes, suggesting effective remediation for complex industrial effluents.

Key Points

To assess and compare the efficacy of electrochemical advanced oxidation processes for degrading single-component and multicomponent tannery dye mixtures under conditions representative of industrial wastewater.
Tested electrochemical oxidation (EOx), electro-Fenton (EF), and photoelectro-Fenton (PEF) using boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes on Violet S4B and a ternary dye mixture (Violet S4B, Brown DR, Black NT2).
Assessed the effects of current density and pollutant concentration using pseudo-first-order discoloration kinetics, chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal, and HPLC analysis of intermediates.
In the multicomponent mixture, PEF achieved approximately 99% discoloration after 120 minutes, compared with nearly 97% for EF and 95% for EOx, with reaction rates following EOx < EF < PEF.
PEF treatment produced extensive organic mineralization as measured by chemical oxygen demand, with HPLC demonstrating negligible accumulation of refractory oxalic acid intermediates.
