Abstract
The degradation of Brilliant Orange from aqueous solution was investigated by advanced oxidation process. Such oxidation process using H2O2 in the presence of UV light is a feasible and efficient alternative for wastewater treatment from recalcitrant compounds such as reactive dyes. H2O2 acts as an oxidant, produces .OH radical on irradiation by UV light. .OH radical oxidizes the dye. The disappearance of Brilliant Orange was monitored on the basis of decolorization, determined by UV-absorption analysis. The extent of decolorization depends on the relative ratio of initial concentrations of H2O2 to BO. The kinetic study of the degradation was investigated, by varying the initial concentrations of BO and H2O2.
