Comparison of reactive azo dye removal with UV/H2O2, UV/S2O82− and UV/HSO5− processes in aqueous solutions
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are an effective choice for removal of reactive azo dyes used in the textile industry due to high solubility and low degradability. Within the scope of this study, reactive orange 122 (RO122) azo dye was removed using the UV-based AOPs of ultraviolet (UV) radiatio...

Zusammenfassung: | Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are an effective choice for removal of reactive azo dyes used in the textile industry due to high solubility and low degradability. Within the scope of this study, reactive orange 122 (RO122) azo dye was removed using the UV-based AOPs of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, UV/hydrogen peroxide (UV/H

), and solution temperature effects were compared. With only UV radiation (254 nm), 19.5% RO122 removal occurred at the end of 120 min. The RO122 removal reduced with the UV/oxidant processes at pH 9. Experimental results revealed RO122 removal followed pseudo-first-order (PFO) kinetics. There was a linear correlation identified between initial oxidant concentration and the PFO kinetic rate constant (
