Photoelectrochemical Degradation of the Reactive Dye - Reactive Blue 81

Kusmierek E., Chrzescijanska E.

Polish Journal of Chemistry

Vol. 83, nr 7

1337-1351

The results of photochemical, electrochemical and photoelectrochemical degradation of Reactive Blue 81 with the application of titanium electrodes covered with titanium and ruthenium oxides are presented in this paper. The influence of current density, process time and dye concentration on the photoelectrochemical degradation was investigated. The photochemical degradation of Reactive Blue 81 resulted only in a slight decolourization of the dye solution. The electrochemical oxidation improved the effective ness of the dye degradation but the complete mineralization was still not achieved. The combination of photochemical process with electrochemical oxidation at the titanium electrodes covered with titanium and ruthenium oxides, resulted in a significant mineralization of the dye solution. It did not require addition of any chemicals or difficult post-treatment processes the way it is necessary in the photodegradation with TiO2 used in the suspension mode.

The electrochemical oxidation of Reactive Blue 81 proceeds easier at titanium electrodes covered with titanium and ruthenium oxides than at a platinum electrode. This process proceeds at both types of electrodes in at least one electrode step before potentials reach the value at which the oxygen evolution starts and is irreversible. Ruthenium oxide has electrocatalytic properties and titanium oxides has photocatalytic properties. An increase in the content of RuO2 at the surface of a titanium electrode causes electrooxidation of Reactive Blue 81 to proceed easier and quicker. The substrate is also reduced in at least two electrode steps at potentials higher than the potentials at which the hydrogen evolution starts. The reduction is also irreversible. An increase in pH of the dye solution facilitates the electrooxidation of Reactive Blue 81.
