I. Introduction
There have been many studies focusing on removal of pollutants and organic compounds from
wastewater. Various technique have been used for treatment of organic pollutants such as adsorption [1];
coagulation [2]; ozone treatment [3]; electrochemistry [4,5,6]. Paper, dyeing, plastic and textile industries use
color for dyeing their products and thus use a huge amount of water which results in the production of a dye-
containing wastewater with hazardous effects on the environment [7]. Wastewater from textile industry has a
high environmental impact and therefore needs to be treated before being discharged into the environment or
reused.
Methylen blue was used as a model day or model cationic dye. It is a heterocyclic aromatic chemical
compounds, dye employed by industries such textile industry for variety of purpose. Methylen blue is a hazard
and toxic material can cause irritation to the skin, permanent injury to the eyes and also cause irritation to the
gastrointestinal tract with symptoms of nausea, vomiting and diarrhea [8].
The treatment methods of dyeing wastewater are biological treatment, chemical coagulation, activated
carbon adsorption, ultrafiltration, ozonation and electrocoagulation (EC). Several methods have been used for
treatment of methylen blue day waste water such as adsorption using poly (vinyl alcohol) [8], TiO2/UV-C
photocatalytic [9], biological and electrochemical methods using SnO2 anodes [10], SnO2 and PbO2 anodes [11];
bismuth doped lead dioxide [12], Ti/Pt and Ti/Pt/Ir electrodes [13], stainless steel net coated with single-walled
carbon nanotubes [14], a mixed titanium and ruthenium oxide (Ti/TiRuO2) and a boron-doped diamond [15].
Methylen blue and other day was treatment using various techniques such as Fenton like reaction [16];
absorption using poly vinyl alcohol [8] electrochemistry method [17-21]. Carbon materials have been widely
used in both analytical and industrial electrochemistry. The advantages of carbon electrodes are low cost, wide
potential window, inert and electrocatalysis activity for a variety of redox reaction. Carbon electrode is superior
material of noble metals for oxidation and reduction of organic and biological molecules in both aqueous and
nonaqueous media [22].
Other than by direct electrolysis, organic pollutants can also be removed electrochemically by indirect
electrolysis, generating in situ chemical reactants that convert them to less harmful products. In this field, the
main oxidising agent is active chlorine, in the form of gaseous chlorine, hypochlorous acid or hypochlorite ions,
which is anodically produced from chlorides naturally.
The aim of this work was to describe the electrochemical oxidation of methylene blue in sodium
chloride solution using carbon composite electrode (C-PVC). C-PVC have been prepared using carbon powder
and polyvinyl chloride PVC as a binder material in 4 ml tetrahydrofuran (THF) solvent and swirled flatly to
homogeneous followed by drying in an oven at 100o
C for 3 hours. The mixture was placed in stainless steel
mould and pressed at 10 ton/cm2
. A typical pellet contained approximately amount of Carbon (95%) powder,
and approximately 5% of PVC polymer. The effect of current and time electrolysis have been evaluation using

II. Experimental
2.1 Solution
All solutions were prepared by dissolving its analytical grade salt in deionised distilled water. Sodium
chloride (NaCl) from Merck was used as the supporting electrolyte. Methylene blue (MB) was prepared from
Merck (Darmstadt, Germany).
2.2. Preparation of a carbon composite electrode (C-PVC)
Carbon powder (< 2 micron in size and 99.9% purity, Aldrich Chemical Company) and PVC in 4 ml
tetrahydrofuran (THF) solvent and swirled flatly to homogeneous followed by drying in an oven at 100o
C for 3
hours. The mixture was placed in stainless steel mould and pressed at 10 ton/cm2
. A typical pellet contained
approximately amount of Carbon (95%) powder, and approximately 5% of PVC polymer.
2.3 Characterization of a carbon composite electrode (C-PVC) using SEM and EDS
Electrode surface was characterized using SEM from JSM 5400 microscope equipped with a
microprobe Voyager Noran system.
2.4. Experiment procedure of the electrochemical studies
The electrolysis process was performed on a solution of 20 ppm methylen blue in 0,1 M NaCl at room
temperature. The electrochemical studies by cyclic voltammetry (CV) were performed in 50 mL capacity glass
electrochemical cell. PGSTAT 100 N 100 V/250 mA (Metrohm Autolab) was used for electrochemical behavior
measurements; data acquisition was accomplished using the software from Metrohm. Cyclic voltammetry
experiments were performed in a three electrodes system using carbon composite electrode (C-PVC) as a
working electrode, an Ag/AgCl (saturated KCl) as reference electrode and platinum wire as the counter
electrode. All potentials given are with respect to the Ag/AgCl reference electrode.
2.5. Experiment procedure of the electrochemical degradation of methylen blue
Experiments have been conducted in an undivided 1 L capacity electrochemical cell. Carbon composite
electrode (C-PVC) was used as anode and cathode. Each electrode was connected to regulated DC power
supply. The stirrer was used in electrochemical cell to maintain an unchanged composition. The solutions
resulting from electrochemical degradation treatment were analysis using the spectrophotometer UV-Visible,
gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

The mechanism redox reaction of methylen blue based in sodium chloride can been see at Fig. 4.
Studies on redox reaction of methylene blue are mainly focused on the kinetics of transformation into
leucmethylene blue, whereas the kinetics of its reductive decolorization in the presence of transition metal ions
have been very scanty. The red-ox properties of methylene blue make a useful indicator in analytical chemistry.
Methylene blue is blue when it is in an oxidizing environment, but colorless (leuco methylene blue) if it is
exposed to a reducing agent (Fig. 4) [23].

Electrode at Current Constant 0.5 A
Effect of electrolysis time on degradation of methylen blue under the optimal conditions was
investigated. The degradation of methylen blue during electrolysis was also monitored with spectrophotometry.
The UV-Visible spectra of the methylene blue, reported in Fig. 4, present dominant two peaks in the visible
region at about 622 and 682 nm. As shown in Fig. 4, the methylen blue degradation rapidly increased with the
increased of electrolysis time up to 240 minutes. The effect of electrolysis time on decolorization of methylene
blue in the presence sodium chloride was investigated in the range of 30-240 minute. The results in Fig. 4 show
that the decolorization efficiency of methelene blue gradually increased with increase in the electrolysis time.
The increase in electrolysis time may lead to increasing reduction rate of methylene blue. The methylen blue
degradation depends directly on the concentration of electrochemical generated hypochlorite ion in the bulk
solution. When the electrolysis time was longer, more hypochlorite ion will be produced in solution under fixed
current density. From the results, the electrolysis time at 240 minutes is considered as the optimal electrolysis
time.

Electrode at Current Constant 1.5 A
Fig. 5 shown UV-visible spectrum of methylen blue 20 ppm (1000 mL) in NaCl 30 g using carbon
composite electrode at current constant 1.5 A. Electrolysis of methylen blue 20 ppm (1000 mL) in NaCl using
carbon composite electrode with high oxygen evolution over potential, the organic pollutants (methylen blue)
are oxidized on the anode surface by the adsorbed hydroxyl radicals electrogenerated by water discharge and
therefore the oxidation rate strongly depends on the applied current density and the mass transport in the cell as
the pollutants must reach the anode surface. The influence of the current and electrolysis time on the
electrochemical oxidation of the methylene blue is shown in Fig. 5. It can also be observed that the oxidation
rate was not influenced by the applied current, but an increase in the current caused a increase in the peak at
ultra violet region.

Methylen blue is completely degraded after 60 min electrolysis, not shown peak at visible area. This
indicates that, chloride ions may change the absorption characteristics of chromospheres during the
electrochemical process, the oxidized forms of chlorine certainly appear, catalyzing the reaction of
decomposition of methylen blue, leading to complete discoloration of the solution after 60 min. The

Electrodegradation of methylen blue in sodium chloride (NaCl) activated using chlorine species and
OH radicals. Based on Bergmann et al. (2009) and Panizza et al. (2007) OH radicals contribution to
electrodegradation of methylen blue ini sodium chlorate solution. Indirect electrooxidation by electrogenerated
species (active chlorine species, e.g. dissolved chlorine, hypochlorous acid and hypochlorite ions, chlorine
dioxide, chlorate, perchlorate; ozone; OH radicals and hydrogen peroxide) is a particularly challenging tool for
wastewater treatments. The stepwise oxidation may take place with OH radicals contribution, as shown below

Introduction There have been many studies focusing on removal of pollutants and organic compounds from wastewater. Various technique have been used for treatment of organic pollutants such as adsorption [1]; coagulation [2]; ozone treatment [3]; electrochemistry [4,5,6]. Paper, dyeing, plastic and textile industries use color for dyeing their products and thus use a huge amount of water which results in the production of a dye- containing wastewater with hazardous effects on the environment [7]. Wastewater from textile industry has a high environmental impact and therefore needs to be treated before being discharged into the environment or reused. Methylen blue was used as a model day or model cationic dye. It is a heterocyclic aromatic chemical compounds, dye employed by industries such textile industry for variety of purpose. Methylen blue is a hazard and toxic material can cause irritation to the skin, permanent injury to the eyes and also cause irritation to the gastrointestinal tract with symptoms of nausea, vomiting and diarrhea [8]. The treatment methods of dyeing wastewater are biological treatment, chemical coagulation, activated carbon adsorption, ultrafiltration, ozonation and electrocoagulation (EC). Several methods have been used for treatment of methylen blue day waste water such as adsorption using poly (vinyl alcohol) [8], TiO2/UV-C photocatalytic [9], biological and electrochemical methods using SnO2 anodes [10], SnO2 and PbO2 anodes [11]; bismuth doped lead dioxide [12], Ti/Pt and Ti/Pt/Ir electrodes [13], stainless steel net coated with single-walled carbon nanotubes [14], a mixed titanium and ruthenium oxide (Ti/TiRuO2) and a boron-doped diamond [15]. Methylen blue and other day was treatment using various techniques such as Fenton like reaction [16]; absorption using poly vinyl alcohol [8] electrochemistry method [17-21]. Carbon materials have been widely used in both analytical and industrial electrochemistry. The advantages of carbon electrodes are low cost, wide potential window, inert and electrocatalysis activity for a variety of redox reaction. Carbon electrode is superior material of noble metals for oxidation and reduction of organic and biological molecules in both aqueous and nonaqueous media [22]. Other than by direct electrolysis, organic pollutants can also be removed electrochemically by indirect electrolysis, generating in situ chemical reactants that convert them to less harmful products. In this field, the main oxidising agent is active chlorine, in the form of gaseous chlorine, hypochlorous acid or hypochlorite ions, which is anodically produced from chlorides naturally. The aim of this work was to describe the electrochemical oxidation of methylene blue in sodium chloride solution using carbon composite electrode (C-PVC). C-PVC have been prepared using carbon powder and polyvinyl chloride PVC as a binder material in 4 ml tetrahydrofuran (THF) solvent and swirled flatly to homogeneous followed by drying in an oven at 100o C for 3 hours. The mixture was placed in stainless steel mould and pressed at 10 ton/cm2 . A typical pellet contained approximately amount of Carbon (95%) powder, and approximately 5% of PVC polymer. The effect of current and time electrolysis have been evaluation using

II. Experimental 2.1 Solution All solutions were prepared by dissolving its analytical grade salt in deionised distilled water. Sodium chloride (NaCl) from Merck was used as the supporting electrolyte. Methylene blue (MB) was prepared from Merck (Darmstadt, Germany). 2.2. Preparation of a carbon composite electrode (C-PVC) Carbon powder (< 2 micron in size and 99.9% purity, Aldrich Chemical Company) and PVC in 4 ml tetrahydrofuran (THF) solvent and swirled flatly to homogeneous followed by drying in an oven at 100o C for 3 hours. The mixture was placed in stainless steel mould and pressed at 10 ton/cm2 . A typical pellet contained approximately amount of Carbon (95%) powder, and approximately 5% of PVC polymer. 2.3 Characterization of a carbon composite electrode (C-PVC) using SEM and EDS Electrode surface was characterized using SEM from JSM 5400 microscope equipped with a microprobe Voyager Noran system. 2.4. Experiment procedure of the electrochemical studies The electrolysis process was performed on a solution of 20 ppm methylen blue in 0,1 M NaCl at room temperature. The electrochemical studies by cyclic voltammetry (CV) were performed in 50 mL capacity glass electrochemical cell. PGSTAT 100 N 100 V/250 mA (Metrohm Autolab) was used for electrochemical behavior measurements; data acquisition was accomplished using the software from Metrohm. Cyclic voltammetry experiments were performed in a three electrodes system using carbon composite electrode (C-PVC) as a working electrode, an Ag/AgCl (saturated KCl) as reference electrode and platinum wire as the counter electrode. All potentials given are with respect to the Ag/AgCl reference electrode. 2.5. Experiment procedure of the electrochemical degradation of methylen blue Experiments have been conducted in an undivided 1 L capacity electrochemical cell. Carbon composite electrode (C-PVC) was used as anode and cathode. Each electrode was connected to regulated DC power supply. The stirrer was used in electrochemical cell to maintain an unchanged composition. The solutions resulting from electrochemical degradation treatment were analysis using the spectrophotometer UV-Visible, gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Fig. 3 shown effects of sodium chloride electrolyte solutions to methylen blue cyclic voltammetry using carbon composite electrode. Sodium chloride as a electrolyte will be produce of chloride ion. Chloride ions are active species of chlorine, in order to catalyze their reaction of degradation. Mechanism of chloride ions, formation and dissolution of chlorine occurs: 2Cl- + 2e → Cl2 (1) Cl2 + H2O → HOCl + H+ + Cl- (2) The mechanism redox reaction of methylen blue based in sodium chloride can been see at Fig. 4. Studies on redox reaction of methylene blue are mainly focused on the kinetics of transformation into leucmethylene blue, whereas the kinetics of its reductive decolorization in the presence of transition metal ions have been very scanty. The red-ox properties of methylene blue make a useful indicator in analytical chemistry. Methylene blue is blue when it is in an oxidizing environment, but colorless (leuco methylene blue) if it is exposed to a reducing agent (Fig. 4) [23]. Fig. 4.

UV-Visible Spectrum of methylen blue 20 ppm (1000 mL) in NaCl 30 g using Carbon Composite Electrode at Current Constant 0.5 A Effect of electrolysis time on degradation of methylen blue under the optimal conditions was investigated. The degradation of methylen blue during electrolysis was also monitored with spectrophotometry. The UV-Visible spectra of the methylene blue, reported in Fig. 4, present dominant two peaks in the visible region at about 622 and 682 nm. As shown in Fig. 4, the methylen blue degradation rapidly increased with the increased of electrolysis time up to 240 minutes. The effect of electrolysis time on decolorization of methylene blue in the presence sodium chloride was investigated in the range of 30-240 minute. The results in Fig. 4 show that the decolorization efficiency of methelene blue gradually increased with increase in the electrolysis time. The increase in electrolysis time may lead to increasing reduction rate of methylene blue. The methylen blue degradation depends directly on the concentration of electrochemical generated hypochlorite ion in the bulk solution. When the electrolysis time was longer, more hypochlorite ion will be produced in solution under fixed current density. From the results, the electrolysis time at 240 minutes is considered as the optimal electrolysis time. Fig. 5. UV-Visible Spectrum of methylen blue 20 ppm (1000 mL) in NaCl 30 g using Carbon Composite Electrode at Current Constant 1.5 A Fig. 5 shown UV-visible spectrum of methylen blue 20 ppm (1000 mL) in NaCl 30 g using carbon composite electrode at current constant 1.5 A. Electrolysis of methylen blue 20 ppm (1000 mL) in NaCl using carbon composite electrode with high oxygen evolution over potential, the organic pollutants (methylen blue) are oxidized on the anode surface by the adsorbed hydroxyl radicals electrogenerated by water discharge and therefore the oxidation rate strongly depends on the applied current density and the mass transport in the cell as the pollutants must reach the anode surface. The influence of the current and electrolysis time on the electrochemical oxidation of the methylene blue is shown in Fig. 5. It can also be observed that the oxidation rate was not influenced by the applied current, but an increase in the current caused a increase in the peak at ultra violet region.

Based on Bergmann et al. (2009) and Panizza et al. (2007) OH radicals contribution to electrodegradation of methylen blue ini sodium chlorate solution. Indirect electrooxidation by electrogenerated species (active chlorine species, e.g. dissolved chlorine, hypochlorous acid and hypochlorite ions, chlorine dioxide, chlorate, perchlorate; ozone; OH radicals and hydrogen peroxide) is a particularly challenging tool for wastewater treatments. The stepwise oxidation may take place with OH radicals contribution, as shown below (Bergmann et al. 2009; Panizza et al. 2007): Cl- + OH. → OCl + OH. → ClO2 - + OH. → ClO2 (3) ClO2 + OH. → ClO2 - + OH. → ClO3 - + OH. → ClO4 - (4) 3.3 Chromatography study Fig. 9 shows chromatograms from High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) of the before and after electrolysis of the methylen blue 20 ppm (1L) in NaCl 30 g using the carbon composite electrode.
