Wastewater produced by the textile industry containing azo dyes and anthraquinone dyes is significant source of pollution to the environment and is toxic for aquatic life. To overcome the high-energy cost of traditional electrochemical oxidation, a custom-built power supply device for the degradation of anthraquinone and azo dyes by low voltage of 15.0-20.0 V pulsed discharge was investigated. Titanium coated with mixed oxide (Ti/IrO2-RuO2-SnO2) plates and pure titanium plates were used as the anode and cathode, respectively, for the generation of chlorine in the dye solution. For the anthraquinone dye Reactive Blue 19, 60.0% of the chemical oxygen demand (COD) and 22.0% of the total organic carbon (TOC) were removed using this system. A comparison of the direct current electrolysis and pulsed discharge revealed that using the pulsed discharge method reduced the energy cost by 68.6%. UV-visible, LC-MS, and GC-MS were used to identify the intermediate compounds formed during the degradation of Reactive Blue 19. The results indicate that in the process of oxidation by chlorine/hypochlorite, the chromophore group was first oxidized to -NH2, followed by decolorization via chlorination of the aromatic rings. The results confirm that low-voltage pulse electrolysis can be used for the degradation of industrial dyes in waste effluents. Practitioner pointsLow-voltage pulse electrolysis can be used for the degradation of industrial dyes and/or dyes in waste effluents. For anionic dye Reactive Blue 19, 60.0% of COD and 22.0% of TOC were removed using low-voltage (20.0 V) pulse electrolysis. The pulsed discharge method reduced the energy cost of this degradation process by 68.6% compared with direct current electrolysis. The intermediate compounds formed during the degradation of Reactive Blue 19 were confirmed by UV-visible spectroscopy, LC-MS, and GC-MS.
