Treatment of real reactive dye effluent (RRDE) containing Reactive Yellow-17 and Reactive Blue 4 has been studied by electro oxidation (EO) using Ti/RuO2 as anode and stainless steel (SS) as cathode. The experimental study focused on the effect of applied current density (2, 5 and 7 A/dm2) on decolorization and removal of COD. Results have indicated that the treatment efficiency was enhanced appreciably by increasing the applied current density with respect to time. Different concentration of NaCl and Na2SO4 were used as supporting electrolytes. It was observed that increase in the concentration of NaCl increases the degradation of dyes than Na2SO4. It was noted that instantaneous current efficiency was good throughout the experiment. The maximum efficiencies of COD reduction and color removal were found to be 82% and 99% respectively when NaCl used as supporting electrolyte. FTIR and UV spectral studies were also carried out. Energy consumption for this process was determined and found to be good in NaCl. Keywords: eEffluent; removal efficiency; NaCl; Electrochemical oxidation, Ti/RuO2 anode
