Electrooxidation of simulated Acid Blue 113 dye effluent has been carried out using a RuO 2 /Ti electrode. The influence of the initial concentration of dye, supporting electrolyte, current densities and pH on COD reduction has been critically studied. Electrochemical analysis such as Instantaneous Current Efficiency (ICE) and Electrochemical Oxygen Demand (EOD) were used.
