a b s t r a c tIn this study, heterogeneous Fenton-like degradation of reactive azo dye Rhodamine 6G in water was investigated over a CuFeZSM-5 zeolite catalyst prepared by hydrothermal synthesis. At initial pH of 3.4, a color removal of 100% was achieved after a reaction time of 45 min. TOC elimination was measured to be 51.8% after 2 h of oxidation. Initial decolorization rate was described by an equation of −r A0 = 4.56 × 10 2 e −24.83/RT C R6G,0 C 0.35 H 2 O 2 ,0 where R is in kJ/mol. The leaching of iron and copper cations from zeolite structure into the solution during oxidation was dependent on pH strongly. The regulation of pH from 6.5 (dye solution pH) to 3.4, increased leaching for iron from 0.7 to 0.8 mg/dm 3 and for copper from 1.4 to 2.1 mg/dm 3 . The copper was totally leached from the catalyst during the process at pH 3.4.

The efficiency of various homogeneous and heterogeneous systems photocatalytic processes destructive oxidation of organic compounds of different classes is considered. It is shown that photocatalytic methods can significantly increase the speed and depth (up to complete mineralization) of decomposition processes of toxicants. The use of photocatalysis (PC) in the creation of low-power water treatment technologies is a promising direction in addressing environmental problems of the hydrosphere.
