Bleaching and photobleaching of Orange II within seconds by the oxone/Co2+ reagent in Fenton-like processes

چکیده
Accelerated bleaching, photobleaching and mineralization of the non-biodegradable azo-dye, Orange II, was observed with oxone in solutions with Co2+-ions. The bleaching rate of Orange II in the dark was found to follow a first-order kinetics with respect to [Co2+] with a rate constant of 20 M−1 s−1. Fitting of the Orange II photobleaching experimental points in the presence of the Co2+/oxone reagent was carried out and followed the trend known for reactions presenting a chain radical branched mechanism. The photobleaching trace could be fitted by a single mathematical expression with an error <5% with respect to the experimental data. The bleaching trace observed for the Orange II solution in the dark followed zero-order decay kinetics. In a typical run, Orange II (0.20 mM or TOC 30 mg C/l) in the presence of oxone and Co2+ was bleached under visible light within ∼15 s. The Co2+-ion concentrations necessary to catalyze the Orange II mineralization by oxone was observed to be ∼100 times lower than the oxone concentration. A 100% TOC decrease, under visible light irradiation, was attained for an Orange II (0.2 mM) solution in the presence of Co2+-ions (0.06 mM) and oxone (20 mM) within times ∼70 min for solutions purged with oxygen. Under visible light irradiation, Orange II mineralization in the presence of O2 involves the photo-dissociation of reaction intermediates leading to organic peroxides in the second step of the mineralization process. © 2004 Elsevier B.V.

Detoxification of diluted azo-dyes at biocompatible pH with the oxone/Co2+ reagent in dark and light processes
Accelerated bleaching and photobleaching of diluted solutions of Methyl Orange and other dyes occur only when Co2+-ions are present in solution mediating oxone (2KHSO5·KHSO4·K2SO4) decomposition. The bleaching of Methyl Orange, Orange II and Methylene Blue dyes in dilute solutions (0.01 mM) proceeds within a few minutes and occurs at biocompatible pH leading to a decrease in the toxicity of the...

This study makes a comparison between Fenton, Fenton-like, photo-Fenton and photo-Fenton-like treatment methods to investigate the removal of two acid dyes. The two selected acid dyes are C.I. Acid Orange 8 (AO8) and C.I. Acid Red 17 (AR17). These were chosen as model organic contaminants. The effect of operating parameters, such as amount of Fenton’s reagent (H2O2 and Fe) and Fenton’s-like rea...

Background: This research studied the effect of UV light on pentachlorophenol (PCP) removal in the electro-Fenton (EF) process. Methods: PCP was used as the pollutant in this study. The effects of Fenton’s reagent, i.e. hydrogen peroxide concentration, solution pH, and treatment time by EF (EF) and photoelectro-Fenton (PEF) processes, were studied to determine rates of PCP removal. The r...

Background and purpose: Paraquat (PQ) is a bipyridinium herbicide that is very soluble in water. This non-selective contact herbicide is widely used in agriculture for weed control. In addition to the environmental impact, paraquat affects the entire body, especially the respiratory system, central nervous system and lymph nodes. In this study degradation of paraquat was investigated using Fent...
