Abstract
Section titled āAbstractāElectrochemical oxidation (EO) technology, which may directly reduce refractory contaminants into simple inorganic molecules like H2O and CO2, is an efficient approach for treating high-concentration wastewater. Boron doped diamond (BDD) electrodes has been extensively researched and used to degrade organic contaminants from real textile wastewater. In this study, two-dimensionally stable anodes, Ti/RuO2-IrO2, were produced and compared with BDD electrodes for the treatment of textile wastewater. This study focuses on the optimization of the produced electrode under different pH and current densities. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that the oxide coating on the Ti plateās surface was effectively produced. The EO process parameters were optimized using central composite design (CCD) under response surface methodology (RSM), with total organic carbon (TOC), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and color removals as responses and pH, current density, and reaction time as control variables. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed good coefficients of determination (R2) values of.0.90, indicating that the second-order regression model matched the experimental data satisfactorily. In optimized conditions, pH 4 was shown to have the maximum effectiveness for both electrodes. The best treatment efficiency was obtained by applying an 800 A/m2 current for 5 h, taking into account the time component in the different current values employed. BDD had a color, TOC, and COD removal of 93%, 75%, and 48%, respectively, whereas Ti/RuO2-IrO2 had a color, TOC, and COD removal of 88%, 62%, and 41%, respectively. In addition, the toxicity of water treated with the BDD electrode was found to be lower, whereas the toxicity of water treated with the Ti/RuO2-IrO2 electrode was found to be higher.
