This　study　presents　a　comparative　investigation　of　supporting　electrolyte　effect　on　the　surface　corrosion　and　anodic　oxidation　performance　of　graphite　electrode.　The　effect　of　electrolyte　on　the　electrochemical　behavior　is　investigated　in　solution　containing　0.05　mol　L-1　sodium　salt,　using　current-overpotential　curves　and　Tafel　lines.　The　surface　morphology　and　composition　of　the　graphite　anodes　before　and　after　electrolysis　are　characterized　by　scanning　electron　microscopy,　X-ray　diffraction,　and　Raman　spectra.　In　aqueous　solution,　graphite　anode　is　positive　polarized,　functionalizes　the　surface,　and　releases　soluble　organics.　The　light-absorbing　corrosion　products　of　graphite　anode　are　recorded　by　a　UV-Vis　spectrophotometer　in　the　ultraviolet　wavelength　range.　Batch　experiments　on　atrazine　oxidation　show　that　NaCl　is　more　efficient　than　Na2SO4　and　NaNO3　to　promote　the　combustion　of　organics　due　to　the　mediated　oxidation　of　the　electrogenerated　active　chlorine　species.　The　oxidation　process　is　confirmed　to　employ　a　non-radical　mechanism　in　which　the　organics　are　degraded　at　the　active　sites　of　graphite　anode.
