Removal of reactive textile dye from aqueous solutions by electrocoagulation in a continuous cell

Résumé

In electrocoagulation (EC), coagulants are delivered in situ using the corrosion of sacrificial anodes when a DC voltage is applied. Simultaneously, electrolytic gases (H 2) are generated at the cathode. Aluminum and iron materials are usually used as anodes, the dissolution of which produces hydroxides and polymeric hydroxides. These coagulants are able to destabilize colloidal suspensions and emulsions, to adsorb, neutralize or precipitate dissolved polluting species, and finally to form flocs that can be removed either by settling or flotation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the operating parameters, such as initial pH, initial concentration (C 0), residence time (τ), current density (j) inlet flow rate (Q) on the removal of a red nylosan dye by electrocoagulation (EC) process using aluminum electrode in a continuous electrochemical reactor. FTIR analysis was conducted to interpret the functional groups involved during the electrocoagulation process. It was found that the increasing of the current density up to 100 A m-2 had increased the dye removal efficiency and the optimum inlet flow rate for EC process was the minimum at 15 L h-1 and it has increased the electrical energy consumption. A rate of abatement of about 90 % for turbidity and 97 % for the color was observed, when the initial concentration of the dye C 0 was lower than 300 mg L-1 , current density j = 300 A m-², conductivity κ = 2.54 mS cm-1 , inlet flow rate Q = 15 L h-1 , residence time τ = 35 min and initial pH ranged from 2.3 to 8.8. The specific electrical energy consumption was 19.5 kWh per kilogramme of removed dye.
