Abstract

A batch reactor is used with an aluminum anode and a stainless steel cathode to decolorize crystal violet solutions by electrocoagulation. Optimization of operating parameters showed that for initial concentrations ranging from 5 to 100 mg/L, initial pH ranging from 6.72 to 5.43, current density of 250 A/m, conductivity of 4.27 mS/cm, and inter-electrode distance of 0.5 cm, a yield of 99.75% is achieved on reduction of color and 98.5% for reduction of chemical oxygen demand (COD).
