The electrochemical degradation of wastewater containing acridine orange dye was investigated by synthesized Ru/ graphite modified electrode. The kinetics of degradation by graphite and Ru/graphite modified electrode are compared. Acridine orange is one of the most important textile dye. IR and uv-visible spectra before and after degradation of dye solution were observed .The thin film formation of Ru or encapsulated in graphite rod is observed from SEM/EDAX .The effect of concentration of the dye and the current and different temperature on the kinetics of degradation were studied. The ICE values of different experimental conditions are evaluated. The anodic oxidation by Ru/ graphite modified electrode showed the complete degradation of aqueous solution acridine orange, which is confirmed by uv-visible and COD measurements. The dye is converted into CO2, H2O and simpler inorganic salts. The results observed for reuse of modified electrodes indicates that the Ru/graphite modified electrode would be promising anode for electrochemical degradation of acridine orange. This method can be applied for the remediation of waste water containing organics, cost effective and simple.
