Abstract

Present study oxidation of dyes from dye effluents by O3/H2O2 was investigated. Reactive red 198(RR198) examined as a target dye. Dye oxidation measured by spectrophotometer. The maximum removal efficiency in optimum conditions including pH=9, contact time=30 minutes, the initial concentration of dye=100 ppm, H2O2 concentration=0.005 molar, O3 concentration = 0.04 g/hr were 97.09% and 87.56% for synthetic solution and actual wastewater (wastewater from Yazdbaft textile) respectively. O3/H2O2 had good efficiency in dye removal. This method with respect to high efficiency in actual condition could be used in dye removal from various industries.
