Abstract:This study showed that the oxidation of rhodamine B by the Fenton process is a very fast method because the reaction takes place within the first 20 minutes. The mixture of Fe2+ and H2O2 produces hydroxide radicals responsible for the degradation of rhodamine B. The study of pH influence on the rhodamine B oxidation reveals that for maximum oxidation of rhodamine B, the pH must be less than or equal to 2. For pH > 2, there is a decrease in rhodamine B oxidation. This is due to side reactions that occur if t… Show more
