The electrochemical degradation of the Reactive Red 141 dye using a filter-press reactor with a β-PbO2 anode was investigated through the application of the response surface methodology. The charge required for 90% decolorization (Q90) and the chemical oxygen demand removal percentage after 30 min electrolysis (COD30) were used to model the system. The investigated independent variables were the current density, pH, NaCl concentration, and temperature. Low values of Q90 (0.2-0.3 A h L-1) were obtained at acidic conditions (pH 1-3) and high concentrations of NaCl (1.0-2.0 g L-1), when Cl2 and HOCl are the predominant oxidant species. The best values of COD30 were obtained at high current densities and acidic to neutral conditions (pH 5-7); however, the consequent energy consumption makes the process not economically feasible under these conditions. For strongly acidic solutions, specific energy consumptions associated to Q90 as low as 0.79 kW h m-3 were attained.
