title: The use of ultrasound to enhance the degradation of the Basic Green by cast iron.
abstract: The effect of pH, amount of cast iron and initial concentration on the removal ratio of Basic Green by cast iron combined with ultrasound was investigated. It was shown that the reduction of Basic Green was enhanced by ultrasound. In all combined systems, the decolorization efficiency is more than 95%, but removal ratio of CODcr decreased with the increasing pH or initial dye concentration and increased with the increase of the amount of cast iron.
