has been reported using platinum coated titanium (Pt/Ti) electrodes. Response surface methodology (RSM) comprising of full factorial central composite design (CCD) with four factors and five levels has been used to examine the effects of different operating parameters such as current density a), aqueous solution pH, conductivity (It) and treatment time (t) in an EC batch reactor. Pyrrole mineralization in aqueous solution was examined with multiple responses such as chemical oxygen demand (COD) (response, Y-1) and specific energy consumption (SEC) in kWh/kg of COD removed (response, Y-2). During multiple response optimization, the desirability function approach was employed to concurrently maximize Y1 and minimize Y2. At the optimum condition, 82.9% COD removal and 7.7 kWh/kg of COD removed were observed. Degradation mechanism of pyrrole in wastewater was elucidated at the optimum condition of treatment by using UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transformed infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR), cyclic voltammetry (CV), ion chromatography (IC), higher performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC -MS). The degradation pathway of pyrrole was proposed on the basis of the various analysis. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
