RESUMO

This paper will present the results obtained for the electrochemical degradation of textile dye Remazol Orange 3R. A filter-press cell was used with different electrodes: platinum polycrystalline, DSA® Ti/Ru0,3Ti0,7O2 and an electrode prepared by the Pechini method (Ti/Pt). The electrode Ti/Pt was prepared by deposition H2PtCl6.6H2O on a Ti substrate and heated to 300°C, producing a Pt film electrode that has voltammetric profile comparable with a polycrystalline platinum electrode, with regions of adsorption and desorption hydrogen, double layer and the region of oxide formation well defined. The characterizations of the dye by cyclic voltammetry indicated that the dye is not electroactive at the surface of the electrodes tested. The electrolysis of the dye were performed in solutions of 0.5 mol L-1 H2SO4, with potential of 1.80 and 2.20 V and the dye concentration used was 35 mg L-1. Also was studied the effect of adding NaCl to the medium (0.004 to 0.017 mol L-1), to the electrochemical formation of HOCl/OCl-. It was necessary to add NaCl in the electrolyte, for the degradation of the dye was effective. When salt was added to the medium, the color removal reached more than 90% using all electrodes. The separation between the anode and cathode was carried out by a membrane IONAC. Thus, there was a decrease in the color removal, probably due to decrease of formation of hypochlorous acid and sodium hypochlorite. Comparing the color removal in the presence and absence of membrane IONAC, it was observed a decrease of 17.6% in the removal of color when applied potential of 1.8 V and 13% with the potential of 2.2 V. The pH was also studied, and according to the results, the best color removal (94%) was obtained in solutions with pH 1.6 and applying the potential of 2.2 V. However, when the pH was varied to the value of 6.3, the color removal reached only 63% and when pH>7, the removal of color was even lower, reaching only 27% for pH 12. In the case electrode of Ti / Pt, the color removal occurred at pH = 6.8, with no need for the addition of H2SO4. Using the Pt as an example, it was observed that better TOC removal 54%) was obtained in the potential of 1.8 V and in the absence of the membrane separator. When the compartment was separated, the removal of TOC decreased to 44.6% for the applied potential of 1.8 V. If the only focus is the color removal, the better would be the application of the potential of 2.2 V and the absence of the membrane separator.
