Popis: This work describes the electrochemical degradation of Reactive Black 5 (RB5) by two methods: electrochemical and photo-assisted electrochemical degradation with and without a Fenton reagent. Two anodes were used, Pt and boron-doped diamond (BDD, 2500 ppm), and the cathode was 3% MnO2 nanoflowers (NFMnO2) on a carbon gas diffusion electrode (GDE). An electrochemical cell without a divider with a GDE with 3% w/w NFMnO2/C supported on carbon Vulcan XC72 was used. The decolorization efficiency was monitored by UV–vis spectroscopy, and the degradation was monitored by Total Organic Carbon (TOC) analysis. For dissolution monitoring, aliquots (1 mL) were collected during the degradation. After 6 h of H2O2 electrogeneration, the manganese concentration in the RB5 solution was only 23.1 ± 1.2 μg L−1. It was estimated that approximately 60 μg L−1 (
