Ns. Deng et al., PHOTODEGRADATION OF DYES IN AQUEOUS-SOLUTIONS CONTAINING FE(III)-HYDROXY COMPLEX .2. SOLAR PHOTODEGRADATION KINETICS, Chemosphere, 34(12), 1997, pp. 2725-2735
The solar photodegradation of five dyes, C.I. reactive red 2, C.I. rea
ctive blue 4, C.I. reactive black 8, C.I. basic red 13, and C.I. basic
yellow 2, were studied in a sunlight/Fe(III)-hydroxy system. It was o
bserved that the photodegradation of these five dyes were pseudo-first
order reactions, which has a little difference with the photodegradat
ion kinetics of the dyes with UV-light as the irradiation source, The
comparison between the two studies is also conducted. (C) 1997 Elsevie
