Heterogeneous photo-Fenton treatment in the degradation of indigo carmine (IC) by using ZeoSonFe as a catalyst through an experimental design

Authors

I. Cosme-Torres, F.J. Illescas-Martinez

Abstract

One of the most important advanced oxidation processes in the treatment of dyes is the photo-Fenton process using heterogeneous catalysts, according to its unique advantages: it allows the complete mineralization of the contaminant and the separation of the catalyst. A clinoptilolite-heulandite zeolite with Fe was conditioned as a catalyst. SEM analysis showed that ZeoSonFe is composed of characteristic cubic and polyhedral shaped crystals. EDS analysis of the ZeoSonFe showed an increase in Fe content in comparison to ZeoSonSod, furthermore it can be mentioned that Na+ and Ca2+ are the cations involved in the cation exchange of Fe2+. The first order rate constant increased with decreasing IC concentration, the k_1 value was given in the following order BAA > BAB > BBA > BBB where three factors were studied: the concentration of IC at a low level (B= 100 mg L-1) and high level (A= 300 mg L-1), the amount of ZeoSonFe (B= 250 mg; A=1000 mg) and the dose of H2O2 (B= 3 mmol; A= 9 mmol).

Keywords
