Abstract

In the present work, a comparative study of the photooxidation of an aqueous solution of Methyl Orange (MeO) has been realized using H2O2 and IO3, BrO3, ClO3, ClO4, BO3 ions in the presence of UV low pressure mercury lamp (UV-C light at λmax = 254 nm). The initial concentration of MeO in all experiments was 6 × 10−5 mol L−1. The degradation rate of MeO follows pseudo-first-order kinetics in all UV/Oxidant systems. The highest degradation rate of MeO was in the BrO3/UV254nm system. Different systems were compared for an oxidant concentration of 10−2 mol L−1 and the obtained results showed that decolorization followed the decreasing order: BrO 3 /UV 254 nm  > IO 3 /UV 254 nm  > H 2 O 2 /UV 254 nm  > BO 3 /UV 254 nm  > ClO 3 /UV 254 nm  = ClO 4 /UV 254 nm  = UV 254 nm . The optimization of oxidants concentration for each process was determined (10−2 mol L−1 for IO3 which gives almost the same kapp for 5 × 10−3, 10−2 mol L−1 for BO3 and 5 × 10−2 mol L−1 for H2O2). No degradation of MeO in presence of ClO3 and ClO4 because these ions do not absorb at 254 nm, therefore they do not generate radical species which degrade organic pollutants. The mineralization was also studied where it was reached 97% after 5 h of irradiation for both H2O2/UV254 nm and BO3/UV254 nm systems.
