Abstract
This paper examines the use of three advanced oxidation processes in degrad ing the textile dye, Reactive Red 235. The dye was oxidised using ozonation , standard Fenton's reagent (Fe2+/H2O2) and a modified photo-fenton's proce ss (UV/Fe oxalate/H2O2) under a variety of conditions. The effects of initi al dye concentration, initial pH and NaCl concentration were studied for ea ch process. Each process was found to have different optimum conditions as determined by the underlying reaction mechanisms.
