In the present study, electrochemical degradation experiments were conducted to degrade a textile dye namely Reactive Blue 19 (RB-19). A laboratory scale bench-top reactor was used to investigate the effect of various operating parameters using titanium based dimensionally stable anode (DSA). The oxidation of RB-19 takes place in the bulk solution with electrolytically generated chlorine/hypochlorite. Increasing the initial pH and increasing the reaction temperature decreases the de-colorization efficiency. At the same time, increasing the chloride concentration and increasing the current density showed an increase in the color removal. The complete removal of color was achieved within a short period of electrolysis for different concentrations of RB-19. However, the removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total organic carbon (TOC) was 55.8% and 15.6%, respectively, for 400 mg/L RB-19 with 1.5 g/L sodium chloride concentration. The intermediate compounds formed during the degradation were identified using a gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS). In the present study, no chlorinated organic compounds were detected during the course of electrolysis. The major compounds identified were benzene, 2-hydroxy, 4,4-napthaquinoine (C.I. Natural orange 6), I-aminoanthraquinone (C.I. Diazo fast red AL), benzyl alcohol, benzaldehyde, benzoic acid, phthalic anhydride, phthalide, phthaldehyde and 1,3-indanone. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
