RETRACTED ARTICLE: Kinetic and anion degradation products study on photocatalytic degradation of reactive orange 5 solution with phosphotungstic acid

Abstract

Increasing environmental pollution caused by toxic dyes is a matter of great concern due to their hazardous nature. So it is crucial to develop processes which can destroy these dyes effectively. It has been generally agreed that reactive orange 5 (KGN) can be effectively degraded in aerated phosphotungstic acid (HPA) in a homogeneous reaction system using near-UV irradiation. In this paper, photocatalytic degradation of reactive orange 5 solutions with phosphotungstic acid was investigated, especially more attention was paid to the kinetic model and the anion degradation products. The results revealed that the photocatalytic degradation reaction of KGN with HPA in a homogenous solution can be described by Langmuir-Hinshelwood equation and Langmuir-Hinshewood kinetic model described it well. The reaction manifested the first order with lower concentration(≤30 mg L , respectively. The degradation mechanism of KGN with HPA is different from that with TiO 2 , the anion products of the two reaction systems are the same. The difference in degradation mechanism of KGN with HPA from that with TiO 2 is caused by the nature of the photocatalyst. Warsaw and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. © Versita

Degradation of pCNB by Fenton like process using α-FeOOH

“…In this study, a modified L-H model (Eq. (12)) was evaluated to represent the a-FeOOH/H 2 O 2 process based on the success of such models in describing heterogeneous photocatalytic reaction kinetics [36,37].…”

Prediction of Methyl Orange (MO) Toxicity and Minimizing Its Pollution in Aquatic Environment by Activated Carbon Adsorption

“…2) gave identical numbers of R% and Q. Table (5) shows maximum and minimum numerical data of the first try of adsorption steps compared to the first 5 mL of the second try (repeating step).…”

“…In general, removal techniques are varied between chemical, physical, and biological degradation methods. Various adsorption studies were concluded in dye subject and in particular MO issues by applying simpleefficient and lowcost material such as chitosan hydrogel beds, clay, rice husk, activated carbon, bacterial or fungal sorbent, industrial by-products, agricultural wastes, and human wastes [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13].…”

Heterogeneous Photocatalytic Discoloration/Degradation of Rhodamine B with H2O2 and Spinel Copper Ferrite Magnetic Nanoparticles

“…It is well known that the presence of H 2 O 2 in solutions exposed to UV radiation of wavelength below 380 nm causes the generation of strong oxidizing hydroxyl radicals (HO ) (Eqn 3). [22] On the other hand, it has been shown that H 2 O 2 can be activated in heterogeneous systems in the presence of insoluble catalysts containing Cu II . [23,24] The effect of the initial concentration of H 2 O 2 on RhB photocatalytic discoloration/degradation rate in the presence of copper ferrite obtained by NIT route was investigated up to a concentration close to 206 mmol L À1 (Table 3).…”
