This study illustrates the degradation of food dyes, C.I. Acid Red 51 (erythrosine E127) and C.I. Acid Blue 74 (indigo carmine E132) by sonocatalysis using an ultrasonic frequency of 37 kHz and a power of 150 W in the presence of heterogeneous catalysts ZnO and peroxide hydrogen (H2O2). The adsorption process for the two dyes on the ZnO nanocrystalline which satisfies the Freundlich model appears not effective because the elimination of the two food dyes does not exceed 35%.In order to improve the removal, the sonocatalytic process (AD-OX) has been investigated. At this purpose, effect of operating parameters such as initial dye concentrations, H2O2 (0-0.75M) and initial pH on the sonochemical degradation was investigated. It was observed that when the adsorption-catalysis was assisted by the ultrasonic and H2O2 a considerable yields has been achieved and about 86% and 97% of E127 and E132 were removed for 10 mg L -1 and 50 mg L -1 respectively.To understand the behavior of dye degradation, structure of the zinc catalyst before and after the sonocatalytic process was characterized by mean X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).Results showed that the ZnO particles before and after sonocatalysis were crystallized in the hexagonal wurtzite phase and the size distribution indicates that most of the particles are in the range of 300 and 600 nm. Finally, ADMI and COD analysis were performed in order to quantify the residual color in solution and evaluate the efficiency of the dye mineralization. Results showed that the treatment of food dyes by US-ZnO-H2O2 process increased color degradation (ADMI) and mineralization efficiency (COD) by more than 50% and 76% respectively. problem causing harmful effects on human health and environmental pollution. Food dyes are not toxic but their degradation generate byproducts such as release of aromatic amines [2] which are suspected to be directly or indirectly responsible of several diseases such as endocrine disrupters, anemia nausea, hypertension, cancer, allergies [2]. Thus food dyes and colored effluent must be subject to regular controls [3-5] and treated before their discharge. Although, rigorous standard were established, the tolerance limit of the color change of the receiving environment should not exceed 100 mg Pt.L -1 (platinum-cobalt) [6], and the maximum daily intake (ADI) tolerated in humans is ranging between 30 and 500 ppm [7]. At this purpose, enormous efforts have been made to eliminate food dyes from effluents and conventional methods are often expensive for their implementation and maintenance, and fail to achieve a desired high yield [2,8,9]. Adsorption and oxidation are the most important processes used in industry for the treatment of food dyes [10] but unfortunately, most adsorbents have low adsorption capacity [11]. The advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have proven and shown to be effective against various colorful and toxic pollutants. They rely on the formation of hydroxyl radica...
