ELECTROCHEMICAL DEGRADATION OF REACTIVE DYES FOR TEXTILE WASTEWATER TREATMENT USING PLATINUM-IRON MODIFIED ELECTRODES

GETASEW YEHUALA GEZAHEGN

Many dyes are causing carcinogens. Some of the dyes are also harmful to the aquatic life; they always pose a serious environmental problem. Treating textile industrial effluent is mostly using chemical and biological or conventional treatment processes. However, these conventional treatment processes may not be very effective in the degradation of particular pollutants such as color and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), which are not even economical, and because of the dyes complex structures they are not efficient either. The research was conducted due to no single biological or physicochemical treatment technique was found capable of removing Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Dissolved Solids (TSS), and color simultaneously up to the discharge limits set for the textile wastewater. The consumption of chemicals for wastewater treatment is very uneconomical and their pollution causes serious damages to the ecosystem
