Study on decolorization of dyeing wastewater by electrochemical treatment

In view of the decolorization of dyeing wastewater, three different kinds of simulated dyeing wastewater were treated by electrochemical method. The effects of current density, initial pH, electrolyte concentration and initial concentration of dye on the treatment effect were investigated, and the decolorization mechanism and color reversion were studied. The experimental results show that the decolorization rate of the three kinds of dyeing wastewater is more than 90% after 60min treatment. And the decolorization process is mainly chromogenic groups gradually destroyed, the dye molecules are gradually degraded. Moreover, in the natural conditions, aeration conditions, heating conditions, almost no phenomenon of color reversion occured.
