Description:
Orange II, C.I. Acid Orange 7 (AO7), is oxidatively decolorized via catalytic oxidation by iron(III) phthalocyanine-tetrasulfonic acid (Fe(III)-PcTS) as a biomimetic catalyst and KHSO"5 as an oxygen donor. The nature of the decolorization of AO7 was investigated in the catalyst concentration range of 10-50@mM, in which the initial concentration of AO7 was 417mgl^-^1. A 99.6% decolorization was observed at [KHSO"5] = 2.5mM and [Fe(III)-PcTS] = 20@mM after a 3-h reaction period. However, the fact that only 4.9% of the TOC was removed indicated that the conversion to CO"2 was incomplete. The results of a total organic nitrogen analysis of the reaction mixture showed that the nitrogen in the azo chain was mainly converted to N"2 gas. In addition, 38.6% of the AO7 was converted to 1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene, and 21.4% to p-phenolsulfonic acid. These results indicate that the degradation via this catalytic system involves the conversion of AO7 to phenolic compounds, followed by N"2 production. In addition, a Microtox test showed that toxicity of the solution increased as a result of AO7 oxidation using this catalytic system.
