In order to develop a low-cost method that effectively cleans acid dye wastewater from small-scale textile industries, a combination of chemical oxidation (photo-Fenton oxidation) and biological treatment (aerobic biodegradation), was employed. High concentration of three acid dyes (5 g/L) were degraded using hydrogen peroxide (6% pharmacy-grade), hydrochloric acid (household), iron (scrap sheets), and sunlight. Filtration (sand and carbon) was used to remove sludge. Results were obtained using UV-visible spectrometry, GC/MS, and ICP along with determination of COD levels. The novel and low-cost photo-Fenton oxidation process showed great promise for the chemical degradation and decolorization of Acid Fast Red, Acid Golden Yellow, and Acid Ananda Blue dyes. ... view moreĀ»
