| Popis: | The present study was stimulated by an authoritative review on decontamination of wastewaters containing synthetic organic dyes by electrochemical methods published in Martínez-Huitle and Brillas (2009). As reviewed by the authors, there have been significant efforts on investigating the decontamination of wastewaters containing synthetic dyes by electrochemical methods, and currently, more studies are being published. A high number of electrodes have been tested in this method, including boron doped diamond (BDD) anodes. In this context, many papers have demonstrated that the use of a BDD thin film in electrochemical oxidation provides total mineralization with high current efficiency of different organics in real wastewaters. And this synthetic material deposited on several supports has been recently applied to dyestuff treatment. Although, in the last two years, more reports have been published treating electrochemically synthetic dyes wastewaters using BDD, there are few reports on the use of electrooxidation processes to degrade real textile effluents. The aim of this paper is to summarize and discuss the most important and recent results available in the literature about the application of BDD electrodes for removing azo dyes in synthetic and real wastewaters. |
