The electrochemical degradation of anthraquinone reactive dye Novacron Blue 4R has been studied on graphite electrodes. The results indicated that initial pH, current density and supporting electrolytes were played an important role in the degradation of dye. Electrochemical behavior of dye was performed with cyclic voltammetry in acidic medium using pencil graphite as working electrode. The destruction of aromatic rings was characterized by UV-Vis, LC-MS, FT-IR techniques and chemical oxygen demand (COD) levels were monitored during degradation process to evaluate the degradation efficiency.
