In this study, the effects of ozone and electron beam radiation on color removal of dyes mixture were studied. According to the obtained results, the COD data denote that a first-irradiation process is a better one and the absorbency data denote that ozonation after irradiation will result in higher values of decolorization. Therefore, it can be said that a process that first applies an electron beam and then uses ozonation is better than the reverse process. Using a new approach for interpretation of the experimental decolorization results, it has been shown that the calculated dye removal percentages based on ozone consumption are near to experimental decolorization results.
