Degradation of dye effluent

Solutions of both basic and acidic dyes were subject to sonolysis, electrolysis, and sonoelectrolysis. Only basic dyes were decolorized by ultrasound alone. Removal of the acidic dye Sandolan Yellow required the use of an electrooxidation process. The rate of electrochemical decolorization in the ab...

Summary:Solutions of both basic and acidic dyes were subject to sonolysis, electrolysis, and sonoelectrolysis. Only basic dyes were decolorized by ultrasound alone. Removal of the acidic dye Sandolan Yellow required the use of an electrooxidation process. The rate of electrochemical decolorization in the absence of ultrasound was dependent on the type of electrolyte, the electrolyte concentration, the reaction temperature, and the current density. The sonoelectrooxidation of Sandalon Yellow needed to be performed in a sealed cell to minimize the effects of ultrasonic degassing.
