ABSTRACT

Acid Black 210 (AB-210) dye is one of the most black dyes used by the leather industry. In the present work, AB-210 degradation in aqueous solution by ozonation (O3) and ozonation with ultraviolet (UV) radiation (O3/UV) was investigated. The effects of pH, initial dye concentration and UV radiation were studied in laboratory scale. Removal was evaluated in terms of residual AB-210 concentration in the treated solution and mineralization efficiency was evaluated by total organic carbon (TOC) analysis. The results indicated that AB-210 is quickly degraded after 15 min but not totally mineralized. It was observed that dye removal of 100% was achieved at pH 3, 7, and 11, while mineralization was found to increase with the pH (55% at pH 11). Concerning UV-C radiation, it enhanced AB-210 degradation at pH 3 but did not reveal any significant effect at pH 7 and 11.
