Optimization of the parameters affecting the Fenton process for decolorization of reactive red 198 [RR-198] from the aqueous phase

ABSTRACT

Background: Recently, there has been a great concern about the consumption of dyes because of their toxicity, mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, and persistence in the aquatic environment. Reactive dyes are widely used in textile industry. Advanced oxidation processes are one of the cost-effective methods for the removal of these dyes. The main aims of this study were determining the feasibility of using Fenton process in removing Reactive Red 198 [RR-198] dye from aqueous solution and determining the optimal conditions
