Abstract

This paper reports the effect of 1.7 MHz ultrasound wave on decolorization efficiency of Rhodamine B (RB) solution by ozone in a T-type microreactor. Response surface methodology using central composite design (CCD) was used for analysis and optimization of the reaction conditions. The effective parameters such as solution pH, dye initial concentration, liquid volumetric flow rate, ozone dosage and the length of microreactor on decolorization process were investigated. Rhodamine B removal from solution was determined in presence of and without sonication. The results indicate that for both modes, the decolorization efficiency of RB increased with increase of the ozone dosage as well as the length of employed microreactor. However, with increase of RB initial concentration and liquid flow rate, the decolorization efficiency was decreased. The comparison between the reactors with and without sonication shows that the application of ultrasound wave is effective more than 15% on removal efficiency of RB at various conditions. At optimum conditions, the experimental RB removal yield of 97. 3% and 95. 8 was obtained for with and without irradiation layouts, respectively. The statistical analyses and the agreement of the experimental results with model predictions showed the reliability of the regression model.
