N2 - This study investigates the influence of the current density on both removal of reactive black 5 dye (RB5) from water and energy consumption using aluminium-based electrocoagulation (EC) reactor. The influence of the current density was investigated by electrolysing coloured water samples containing 25 mg/l of RB5 for 60 min at three different current densities (1, 2, and 3 mA/cm2). While the initial pH, distance between electrodes, flow rate, and initial temperature of water were kept constant at 5, 4 mm, 1 L/h, and 20 ± 10C, respectively. The obtained results showed that both the removal of RB5 dye and energy consumption increased with the increase of the applied current density. For example, it has been found that the removal RB5 and the power consumption increased from about 95% to 99.5%, and the power consumption increased from 4.3 to 10.4 kWh/m3 as the current density increased from 1 to 3 mA/cm2, respectively.
