  In this work, the removal of two pesticides 1, 2- dichlorobenzene and 1, 4- dichlorobenzene by electrolysis using BDD and Pb/PbO2 as anodes is studied. Different operating conditions and factors affecting the treatment process including anode material, applied current density, supporting electrolyte and initial pH value were studied and optimized. Results demonstrate, as expected, that the influence of the anode material used on the degradation of pesticides was very significant in all cases. Infact electrolysis with diamond electrodes can attain the complete depletion of the pesticide and its mineralization faster than with PbO2 anode. Electrolysis experiments strongly improves that the complete degradation of pesticides occurred in the presence of Na2SO4 as conductive electrolyte at current density equals 20 mA cm-2. Acidic pH w..
