Abstract
The feasibility study for the application of the removal and mineralization of Rhodamine B (RhB) was performed in a batch electrochemical reactor. The electro/UV process was consisted of DSA (dimensionally stable anode) electrode and UV-C or ozone lamp. The experimental results showed that RhB removal by the ozone lamp was higher than that of the UV-C lamp. Optimum current of the electro/UV process was 1 A. The electrochemical, UV and electro/UV process could completely degrade RhB, while a prolonged treatment was necessary to reach a high level RhB mineralization. It was observed that RhB removal in electro/UV process is similar to the sum of the UV and electrolytic decolorization. However, it was found that the COD of RhB could be degraded more efficiently by the electro/UV process (90.2 %) than the sum of the two individual oxidation processes [UV (19.7%) and electrolytic process (50.8%)]. A synergetic effect was demonstrated between the UV and electrolysis.
