摘要

The electrochemical degradation of reactive blue 21 (RB21) was investigated using anodic oxidation on a platinum (Pt) electrode in a basic medium (0.1 M NaOH). Cyclic voltammetry revealed the influence of dye concentration and potential scan rate on RB21’s electrochemical behavior over a potential range of -1 to 0.8 V/SCE. Electrolysis experiments performed by chronopotentiometry showed that increasing current density and electrolysis time significantly enhanced decolorization. Under optimal conditions, a current density of 100 mA cm⁻2 and an electrolysis time of 180 min at 25 °C resulted in 99.6% dye removal efficiency. Mass spectrometry analysis identified intermediate degradation products, allowing the proposal of a possible degradation pathway. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of anodic oxidation in alkaline media for efficient dye decolorization and the breakdown of complex dye structures.
