Abstract

In this study, the degradation of Acid Orange 7 (AO7) in aqueous solutions by iron(III) under activation by persulfate (PS, S2O82-) oxidation and Visible (Vis) light (≥420 nm) exposure was performed. The efficiency of different systems including Fe3+/Vis, Fe3+/PS, PS/Vis and Fe3+/PS/Vis has been evaluated. It was found that the efficiency of Fe3+/PS and PS/Vis system was low, and only about 48% of AO7 was oxidized within 20 min of experiment time under Fe3+/Vis system action, and it was further improved to almost 95% within 20 min by Fe3+/PS/Vis system. Various process-dependent parameters, such as PS, Fe3+, dye concentration as well as initial pH were investigated to optimize the process. As results indicated, the dye's degradation efficiency increased with the increase of PS and Fe3+ concentration over the tested range. The pH had an insignificant effect on the degradation of AO7. The effect of inorganic anions was also investigated and the suppressive effects of inorganic anions can be ranked in an ascending order of Cl−≈NO3−<SO42−<HCO3−≈HPO42−.
