| Abstract | In recent times, there has been increasing interest in the exploration of electrochemical approaches for the destruction of organic pollutants in wastewater owing to their ability to degrade recalcitrant pollutants in our water. This work demonstrated the use of expanded graphite-diamond anode for the degradation of acid blue 40 (AB 40) dye. Expanded graphite (EG) and expanded graphite-diamond (EG-diamond) electrodes were prepared and characterised using Raman spectrometry, x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The electrolysis of the analyte in 0.1 M Na$_{2}$SO$_{4}$ electrolyte resulted in ca. 80 % dye removal at the EG-diamond electrode and 66 % removal at the pristine EG electrode at a current density of 20 mAcm$^{−2}$ after 4 h. However, in a chlorine-mediated electrolysis (NaCl as supporting electrolyte), the decolourisation of the dye was very rapid with over 98 % decolourisation in 25 min. The extent of mineralisation was measured by total organic carbon (TOC). EG-diamond and EG electrodes yielded TOC removal of 44 and 26 % respectively in the sodium sulphate supported cell. The degradation of AB 40 follows a pseudo first-order kinetic model with apparent rate constants of 2.34 × 10$^{−3}$ min$^{−1}$ and 4.41 × 10$^{−3}$ min$^{−1}$ obtained at EG and EG-diamond electrodes, respectively. The EG-diamond electrode was further applied in the degradation of orange II dye (OG II) and a mixture of OG II and AB 40 with a TOC removal of 49 % for the dye mixture. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
