Heterogeneous Fenton-Like Degradation of Rhodamine 6g in Water Using Cufezsm-5 Zeolite Catalyst Prepared by Hydrothermal Synthesis
(Elsevier Ltd., 2010) Dükkancı, Meral; Gündüz, G.; Yılmaz, Selahattin; Prihod’ko, R. V.
In this study, heterogeneous Fenton-like degradation of reactive azo dye Rhodamine 6G in water was investigated over a CuFeZSM-5 zeolite catalyst prepared by hydrothermal synthesis. At initial pH of 3.4, a color removal of 100% was achieved after a reaction time of 45min. TOC elimination was measured to be 51.8% after 2h of oxidation. Initial decolorization rate was described by an equation of -rA0=4.56×102 e-24.83/RTCR6G,0CH2O2,00.35 where R is in kJ/mol. The leaching of iron and copper cations from zeolite structure into the solution during oxidation was dependent on pH strongly. The regulation of pH from 6.5 (dye solution pH) to 3.4, increased leaching for iron from 0.7 to 0.8mg/dm3 and for copper from 1.4 to 2.1mg/dm3. The copper was totally leached from the catalyst during the process at pH 3.4. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
