This work aimed to evaluate the contribution of reactive oxygen species(ROS) in a green oxidation system based on peroxymonocarbonate (PMC) to thedegradation efficiency of RB21 textile dye using ROS scavengers such as t-butanol,terephthalic acid (TA), N,N-dimethylaniline (DMA), ascorbic acid. The resultsshowed that in reaction conditions including RB21 dye 4.6310-2 mM (50 mg/L)
HCO3– 50 mM
H2O2 100 mM
Co2+ 1.7010-3 mM (0.1 mg/L), theRB21degradation efficiency reached 90% after 180 minutes of which thecontribution percentage of CO3•– radicals was the most important, 98.2%, while •OHand other ROS hardly contributed to the degradation process of RB21 dye.Moreover, the kinetic study results on the reaction between CO3•– and its scavenger,DMA, as well as between •OH and its scavenger, TA, indicated that theconcentrations of CO3 ⦁- and •OH in the PMC system composed of HCO3– 50 mM,H2O2100 mM, and Co2+ 1.7010-3 mM were 2.35.10-13M and 1.50.10-16M, respectively.This work aimed to evaluate the contribution of reactive oxygen species(ROS) in a green oxidation system based on peroxymonocarbonate (PMC) to thedegradation efficiency of RB21 textile dye using ROS scavengers such as t-butanol,terephthalic acid (TA), N,N-dimethylaniline (DMA), ascorbic acid.
