“…According to the equation 5, the reciprocal plots of initial reaction rate and initial dye concentration are linear as shown in Figure 4(b). The reciprocals of first-order reaction rate constants were reported to be proportional to initial concentrations in L-H model (Heredia et al, 2001) and the similar result was obtained in this study as shown in Figure …”

Zero-valence tin reductively degraded a persistent azo dye, Orange II to produce colorless aromatic amines. The effects of acid concentrations and initial Orange II concentrations on the decolorization of Orange II by tin in citric and hydrochloric acids were investigated. The decolorization reaction in citric acid was faster than that in hydrochloric acid at 2.5 and 5 mM acid concentrations. The faster reaction would be related to the characteristic dissolution reaction of tin in citric acid. The first-order kinetic was applicable in citric acid over the examined range of 0.1 -0.4 mM initial Orange II. However, at more than 0.2 mM initial Orange II the first-order kinetic was not applicable in hydrochloric acid and thus the relaxation first-order reaction kinetic was applied. The result that zero-valence-tin/citric acid system demonstrated successful decolorization in repeated use supports the possibility of its application for azo dye wastewater.

“…Differently, in the modified L-H model the light intensity can affect both kinetic constants (k r , K S ), as reported in the literature [50,51].…”

“…Photocatalytic process could be commonly described in terms of a modified LangmuirHinshelwood (L-H) model, which has been successfully used for heterogeneous photocatalytic degradation by determining the relationship between the apparent first-order rate constant and the initial content of the organic substrate [50,51]:…”
“…The rate determining step of the catalyzed reaction (photocatalytic reaction) is considered to be the reaction between OH • radicals and organic molecules on the catalyst surface. Therefore the reaction rate for second order surface decomposition of nitrobenzene may be written in terms of Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics as [27]:…”
