Abstract
A solution of Orange II, one of the typical azo dyestuffs was electrolyzed by Solid Polymer Electrolyte (SPE) electrolysis with two high oxygen overvoltage anodes, PbO2 and SnO2 without adding any electrolytes. The solution was decolorized completely by the 120 minutes electrolysis, using PbO2 anode at current density of 0.2 A·:cm-2. However, even after 180 minutes of electrolysis with PbO2 anode at 0.3 A·cm-2, 60% of total organic carbon (TOC) and 35% of chemical oxygen demand (COD) remained. Biodegradability of the electrolyzedobserved at high current density condition (about 0.5 A·cm-2) and longterm electrolysis (about 200 hours). TOC reduction was higher for SnO2 electrode doped with 1% Sb than for PbO2. Although Sb doping reduced cell resistance, the electrolytical cell voltage for SnO2 (8.5V) was much higher than that of PbO2 (3.5V).
