Abstract

The degradation of methyl orange (MO) by ferrate(VI) was examined to demonstrate the potential of this oxidant for the treatment of azo dye in water. The effects of solution pH, ferrate(VI) dosages, treatment time, temperature, and constituents were studied. The results suggested that the suitable conditions for MO removal were pH 3, the molar ratio of Fe(VI) to MO greater than 5.1:1.0, temperature range of 20 to 50 °C. The oxidation reaction MO by Fe(VI) occurred primarily within the first 3 minutes. The MO removal achieved 94.9 and 99.3 % after 3 minutes at ferrate(VI) dosages of 5.1:1.0 and 8.5:1.0, respectively. Anions (Cl^- and NO₃^-) and cations (Mg²⁺ and Fe³⁺) had no influence on the MO removal. However, cation Cu²⁺ in water reduced the MO removal efficiency by ferrate(VI). The MO destruction was determined by UV-vis spectra and LC-MS chromatograms of MO solutions before and after adding ferrate(VI).
