Degradation of Dyes by H₂O₂ with Activated Charcoal Supported MgFe₂O₄ under Microwave Irradiation

Abstract:

In this study, MgFe₂O₄ is produced by the chemical coprecipitation method and supported by activated charcoal (C/MgFe2O4). It is observed by the FT-IR spectra and the true density. The dyeing wastewater modeled by dye Reactive Brilliant Red X-3B solution is dealt with H₂O₂ on the radiation of microwave and used the C/MgFe₂O₄ as adsorbent and catalyst. Tests are designed by the response surface methodology (RSM) to annalyze and optimize the process. The optimum condition is: 3 gram of C/MgFe₂O₄, the pH of 5, 1.1mL H₂0₂, the microwave power of 150W. The results say that C/MgFe₂O₄ is very good on catalyzing the degradation of dyeing wastewater when using the H₂O₂ under microwave irradiation.
