This study evaluated the degradation of reactive yellow F3R (RY F3R) dye by photoelectro-peroxone (PEP) process. The study showed that the PEP gave 97.66% colour and 84.64% TOC removals at 1.176 h−1 which were 14 and 1.4 times greater than photolysis and electro-peroxone processes, respectively. Quenching experiment showed that hydroxyl radical and singlet oxygen were predominant oxidizing species in RY F3R degradation. In addition, results of the colour and TOC removal by the application of PEP to real field textile wastewater showed that PEP offer an efficient and propitious technology for organic pollutant degradation.
