Abstract
In this work, the Fenton-like decolorization of anazo dye, Acid Red 1 (AR1) by Fe–ball clay (Fe–BC) catalyst wasstudied. The effects of different reaction parameters such as initial iron ions loading on ball clay (BC), catalyst dosage, initial concentration of hydrogen peroxide [H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>]0 and AR1 [AR1]0,reaction temperature and initial solution pH on the decolorization of AR1 were assessed. The best reacting conditions were found to be 1.0 wt. % of iron ions loading on BC,catalyst dosage = 5.0 g L<sup>-1</sup>, initial solution pH = 2.5, [H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>]0 = 12mM, [AR1]0 of 50 mg L<sup>-1</sup> at temperature 30 °C. Under these conditions, 99% decolorization efficiency of AR1 was achieved within 180 min of reaction. The results indicated that Fe-BCwas a promising catalyst for the heterogeneous Fenton system.
