The electrochemical performance of electrodeposited Ti/β-PbO 2 and Ti-Pt/β-PbO 2 anodes was galvanostatically evaluated (batch mode, 50 mA cm) to degrade the Direct Yellow 86 dye (100 or 200 mg L in 0.1 mol L Na 2 SO 4 + 1.5 g L NaCl), investigating the effect of pH and temperature. Similar results were obtained for both electrodes and the best conditions for removal of color and chemical oxyge...
