A study has been performed on the degradation of Reactive Black 5 (RB5) as pollutant using iron electrode (Fe.S) derived from iron sludge steel waste via electrochemical method. The Fe.S and titanium graphite electrodes were applied as anode and cathode respectively during the studied. The studied operating parameters were the effect of current density, initial pH, initial concentration, and the reusability of the Fe.S electrode. The experiment was carried out for 120 minutes of electrolysis time. From results revealed that Fe.S could be used three times with complete degradation of RB5 from initial concentration of 50 ppm. A complete RB5 colour removal can be achieved in any pH range (3,6, and 9). The current density at 4 mA/cm2 showed a faster RB5 degradation compared to at 2, 6,8, and 10 mA/cm2.
