ADDITIONAL PURIFICATION BY ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION OF RED SPD DYE AFTER ELECTROCHEMICAL DESTRUCTION

Surface water pollution by industrial wastewater is one of the serious environmental problems of the Republic of Uzbekistan. A significant source of pollution is the textile industry, whose wastewater contains organic dyes and various related substances. This article presents the results of a study of the photooxidation of the active dye Red SPD after electrochemical degradation in an electrolytic cell with insoluble anodes. Studies have been carried out to determine the efficiency of active chlorine synthesis in the process of electrolysis of chloride solutions, the effect of active chlorine concentration, electrolyte composition, power consumption when using the combined electrochemical/ultraviolet irradiation process, and changes in the spectral characteristics of the dye solution for carrying out the photooxidation process have been studied. The technological parameters of the method of photooxidative post-treatment in treated water after electrochemistry are established, considering the concentration of oxidizing agents. The maximum current output of active chlorine occurs at a treatment time of 10 minutes. The use of NaCl as an electrolyte in comparison with Na2SO4 showed the best result in the purification process. When using NaCl with a concentration of 1.625 g L-1 in the composition of a sulfate-containing electrolyte, it can reduce the concentration of Red SPD to 1.0 mg L-1. Photooxidative degradation can become an alternative for post-treatment of wastewater from textile enterprises. The developed technology confirms the efficiency of using the combined cleaning method.
