Abstract
Effluent containing tartrazine can affect the environment and human health significantly prompting the current study into degradation using a sonochemical reactor operated individually and combined with advanced oxidation processes. The optimum conditions for ultrasound treatment were established as dye concentration of 10 ppm, pH of 3, temperature as 35 °C, and power as 90 W. The combination approach of H2O2/UV, H2O2/US, and H2O2/UV/US resulted in higher degradation of 25.44%, 57.4%, and 74.36% respectively. Use of ZnO/UV/US approach increased the degradation significantly to 85.31% whereas maximum degradation as 93.11% was obtained for the US/UV/Fenton combination. COD reduction was found maximum as 83.78% for the US/UV/Fenton combination. The kinetic analysis showed that tartrazine dye degradation follows pseudo first-order kinetics for all the studied processes. Combination of Fenton with UV and US was elucidated as the best approach for degradation of tartrazine.
