Novel Rotating Disc Electrolytic Reactor based on Bipolar Electrochemistry for the Treatment of Industrial Wastewater

Textile effluents highly pollute the fresh (surface) water bodies because of the presence of various toxic dyes. During the dyeing process, around 20-50 % of the dyes end up in the water phase and cause severe problems to the environment (Yurtsever et al., 2017). Also, the presence of dyes creates an undesirable aesthetic impact in receiving water bodies (Guimarães et al., 2012). Hence, the proper removal of dyes is necessary before they discharge into the environment.
