Özet

Advanced oxidation of an azo-dye, Direct Red 28 (DR 28) by photo-Fenton treatment was investigated in batch experiments using Box-Behnken statistical experiment design and the response surface analysis. Dyestuff (DR 28), H2O2 and Fe(II) concentrations were selected as independent variables in Box-Behnken design while color and total organic carbon (TOC) removal (mineralization) were considered as the response functions. Color removal increased with increasing H2O2 and Fe(II) concentrations up to a certain level. High concentrations of H2O2 and Fe(II) adversely affected the color and TOC removals due to hydroxyl radical scavenging effects of high oxidant and catalyst concentrations. Both H2O2 and Fe(II) concentration had profound effects on decolorization. Percent color removal was higher than TOC removal indicating formation of colorless organic intermediates. Complete color removal was achieved within 5 min while complete mineralization took nearly 15 min. The optimal reagent doses varied depending on the initial dyestuff dose. For the highest dyestuff concentration tested, the optimal H2O2/Fe(II)/dyestuff ratio resulting in the maximum color removal (100%) was predicted to be 715/71/250 (mg L-1), while this ratio was 1550/96.5/250 for maximum mineralization (97.5%).
