Electrocatalytic decolorization of the arylazo pyridone dyes has been investigated in the presence of sodium chloride using DSA Ti/PtOx electrode in the diluted sodium hydroxide. Decolorization can be attributed to the indirect oxidation of the investigated dyes by the electrogenerated hypochlorite formed from the chloride oxidation. Electrochemical decolorization has been investigated for the different sodium hydroxide concentration in the range from 40 mg dm-3 to 4 g dm-3, sodium chloride concentration in the range from 15 to 40 g dm-3, agitation speed in the range from 150 to 500 rpm, currents in the range of 100 to 250 mA, and dye concentration from 5 to 20 mg dm-3. The optimum electrolysis conditions have been suggested. Effect of substituents on the reaction rate has also been studied. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike Srbije, br. OI172013, OI172046
