Dye stuff removal from textile waste water by electrochemical oxidation

ABSTRACTMaster of Science ThesisDYE STUFF REMOVAL FROM TEXTILE WASTE WATER BYELECTROCHEMICAL OXIDATİONCanan GÜRELAnadolu UniversityGraduate School of SciencesEnvironmental Engineering ProgramSupervisor: Assoc. Prof. Dr. A. Savaş KOPARAL2006, 80 pagesIn this thesis, electrochemical oxidation removal of Basic Red dye stufffrom textile waste water was investigated in a plug flow reactor using borondoped diamond electrode. Dyestuff removal of 99% has been achieved in allexperiment. In model waste water and textile waste water, toxicity tests wereperformed under optimum conditions and high removal efficiency for toxicity wasobtained. COD removal was achieved over 90% in textile waste water.Keywords: Electrochemical Oxidation, Dye stuff, Boron Doped Diamond,Toxicity, Textile Waste Water
