Abstract

Decolorization of synthetic azo dye solution of Congo red dye, as an anionic dye was studied in a batch reactor using Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP). Congo red has been selected amongst azo dyes due to its high solubility in aquatic environment. AOP is effectively removing color in azo dye wastewater due to its strong oxidizing property by breaking down the functional group that impacting color on azo dye. AOP selected in this study was the ozonation. The effect of ozonation contact time on initial dye concentration, solution pH and the rate of decolorization were studied and the results were analyzed in terms of color removal efficiency. The color removal efficiency was found to increase with an increase the ozonation time and decrease with an increase in initial dye concentration of the synthetic dye solution. The result with Congo red synthetic dye solution showed that maximum decolorization around 90% was obtained at 25 min of ozonation.
