Abstract
The decolourisation of the reactive Congo red dye from synthetic wastewater was studied using ElectroCoagulation (EC) technique. In an effort to increase removal efficiency, the effects of operating parameters including flow, inter electrode distance, conductivity, voltage, and Hydraulic Detention Time (HDT) were investigated. An electrochemical cell was initially created with an aluminum cathode and anode. Following that, each variable's impact was examined independently using synthetic wastewater. The colour removal efficiency was 93% when the initial dye concentration was 4 mg/L, the conductivity was 300 ppm, the temperature was 24 oC, the interelectrode spacing was 1 cm, and the HDT of the electrolysis was 120 min.
