Salt-containing dye wastewater discharged from textile industries causes serious environmental problems. Simultaneous decolorization and desalination of dye wastewater in a laboratory scale electrochemical cell are realized for the first time with boron-doped diamond anode. With initial methyl orange (MO) and NaCl of 50 and 3000 mg L⁻¹, decolorization and desalination efficiencies of 70.2 and 88.7% were achieved after 6-h treatment with applied voltage of 6 V. Increasing applied voltages resulted in the improvements of both color and salt removal, while higher MO concentrations suppressed decolorization and higher NaCl concentration accelerated desalination rate. MO dissociated into anions transferred through the anion exchange membrane into the anode compartment and reacted with the active species as ·OH, H₂O₂, and ClO⁻ generated in anode compartment, leading to color removal. Component analysis confirmed the destruction of MO, with generation of low molecular weight compounds such as phenol and indole. Ions balance analysis indicated that Cl⁻ and Na⁺ moved to the anode and the cathode compartments respectively through the employed membranes driven by external voltage, realizing salt removal. This study has collectively demonstrated an efficient alternative for satisfactory treatment of salt-containing dye wastewater based on electrochemical technology.
