Abstract

A central composite design was used to investigate the influence of the main process parameters on the degradation of Reactive Green 19 (RG19) azo dye by the UV/H2O2 treatment. The combined use of UV radiation and H2O2 resulted in the decolorization and dearomatization of the dye. They were monitored by measuring the spectral changes occurring, respectively, in the visible and UV regions of the dye spectrum. RG19 degradation was found to be practically complete over a time of 15-60 mm, for decolorization, and 50-200 min, for dearomatization, depending on the applied conditions. Both processes followed apparent first-order kinetics. The associated rate constants were used as the response variables and their dependence on initial dye and H2O2 concentrations, pH and reaction time was investigated by the response surface methodology. Response surface plots for the decolorization and dearomatization processes were very similar in shape. For both processes, the initial dye and H2O2 concentrations were the key factors controlling dye degradation. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
