Abstract

This paper is a kinetic study that compares the rate of decolorization and subsequently the mineralization of Acid Blue 80 in model dyeworks wastewater, both in the homogeneous phase using the Fenton and photo-Fenton reactions, UV-C and UVC/H2O2 processes, and in the heterogeneous phase, where the proven commercial photocatalysts P25, P90, and AV01 based on TiO2 were used. The influence of pH of the environment was studied and in the case of the Fenton reaction, the influence of the concentration of catalyzing Fe2+ ions on the rate of decolorization of the model wastewater was also studied. The optimal molar ratio of H2O2/Fe2+ was 10:1. For describing the reaction kinetics, first-order speed constants were best-suited. In all applied processes, the dye chromophore degraded, which was accompanied by a quantitative decolorization of the model wastewater. Subsequently, the mineralization of colorless intermediate products was studied through a decrease in COD or, more precisely, TOC. The mineralization efficiency in the homogeneous phase ranged between 18.6 and 97.1% after 24 h. In the case of heterogeneous photocatalysis, it ranged between 79.6 and 97.3% after 24 h, with efficiency declining in the order P90 > P25 > AV01.
