AB29 was completely mineralized by SPEF at the end of electrolysis, while the solution achieved decolorization in short periods of time on sunny days. Reaction intermediates, such as aromatic compounds, carboxylic acids and inorganic ions, were found during the oxidation process. Solar irradiation favors the mineralization of the dye in cost and efficiency compared to other electrochemical methods. Moreover, the treatment of an industrial textile effluent containing AB29 by SPEF produced mineralization greater than 90% on sunny days.
