The oxidative degradation of Procion Red MX-5B by solar Fenton’s has been investigated using sunlight as irradiation source in presence of hydrogen peroxide and Fe2+. Maximum decolorization (99%) and COD removal (97%) for MX-5B was obtained at H2O2 dose of 16.6 mM and at 30 min irradiation time. Fe2+ dose of 0.36 mM was optimum for Procion Red MX-5B degradation. The solar degradation mechanism ...
