Application of SCR Technology for Degradation of Reactive Yellow Dye in Aqueous Solution

Abstract

The effect of sonochemical reactors (SCR) technology upon the degradation of reactive yellow dye has been studied and reported here. Sonochemical reactors (ultrasound irradiation) produce strong cavitation in aqueous solution causing shock wave and reactive free radicals by the violent collapse of the cavitation bubble. These effects should contribute to destruction as well as the decomposition of dyes. This research investigated the efficacy of sonochemical reactors for decolourizing reactive yellow dyes in aqueous solution. In this research, the influence of concentration, frequency, treatment time, and reactor power on the dye decomposition were investigated. The results obtained from the study carried out have shown that SCR can be used effectively for degradation of reactive yellow dyes. The results suggested sonochemical reactors provided maximum destruction, and 120 min treatment time at 130 kHz and 500 W were the most effective for the maximum degradation of reactive yellow dye.

Degradation of azinphos-methyl and chlorpyrifos from aqueous solutions by ultrasound treatment

“…Among the different existing AOPs, during the last years, ultrasound has been effectively applied to degrade a wide variety of pollutants in wastewater [16,17]. The ultrasound process is an attractive technique, since it is chemical free and does not produce secondary pollutants.…”

Removal of Reactive Black 5 dye from aqueous solutions by coupled electrocoagulation and bio-adsorbent process

“…Following scientific advances in the manufacturing of textile dyes, new dyes have been introduced on the market that bring better dye specifications with higher stability ( 6 ). However, stable dyestuff is more resilient to biological and chemical decomposition processes ( 7 ). The majority of the dyestuff employed in textile industries cannot be decomposed by treatment processes such as coagulation and chemical precipitation ( 8 , 9 ).…”

Decolorisation of Reactive Red 120 Dye by Using Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes in Aqueous Solutions

“…is is a problem, as the waste must be discarded properly to avoid environmental contamination [18]. Also, biological treatment and enzymatic treatment [21][22][23], ozone treatment [24,25], chemical oxidation, photocatalytic processes [14,26], sonochemical processes [27], nanoparticles [28], and membrane processes [29] were used for removal of dye from textile effluents. However, some of these methods are limited due to their high operational costs and problems.…”
