Oxidation by Fenton-like (Fe 3+ /H 2 O 2) reactions is proven to be an economically feasible process for destruction of a variety of hazardous pollutants in wastewater. In this study, the degradation and mineralization of malachite green dye are reported using Fenton-like reaction. The effects of different parameters like pH of the solution, the initial concentrations of Fe 3+ , H 2 O 2 , and dye, temperature, and added electrolytes (Cl − and SO 4 2−) on the oxidation of the dye were investigated. Optimized condition was determined. The efficiency of 95.5% degradation of MAG after 15 minutes of reaction at pH 3 was obtained. TOC removal indicates partial and insignificant mineralization of malachite green dye. The results of experiments showed that degradation of malachite green dye in Fenton-like oxidation process can be described with a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The thermodynamic constants of the Fenton oxidation process were evaluated. The results implied that the oxidation process was feasible, spontaneous, and endothermic. The results will be useful for designing the treatment systems of various dye-containing wastewaters.

Tea waste/CuFe 2 O 4 (TW/C) composite was prepared by co-precipitation method. The TW and TW/C samples are characterized by FTIR, XRD, SEM and N 2 physical adsorption. The results showed that specific surface area of 350 and 570 m 2 ·g −1 for TW and TW/C, respectively. The average pore size of TW/C is ca. 100 nm. Adsorption of methylen blue onto TW/C composite has been studied. Measurements are performed at various contact time, pH and adsorbent dosage. The adsorption kinetics of methylen blue (MB) could be described by the pseudo-second order kinetic model. The adsorption isotherms are described by means of Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. It was found that the Freundlich model fit better than the Langmuir model. The thermodynamic constants of the adsorption were calculated to predict the nature of adsorption. The values of thermodynamic parameters indicate that a spontaneous and endothermic process was occurred.
