Ultrasonic degradation of Rhodamine B in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and some metal oxide.
In this research, degradation of Rodamine B in the presence of (hydrogen peroxide), (hydrogen peroxide+ultrasound), (hydrogen peroxide+aluminum oxide), (hydrogen peroxide+aluminum oxide+ultrasound with different ultrasound power), (hydrogen peroxide+iron oxide) and (hydrogen peroxide+iron oxide+ultrasound with different ultrasound power) were investigated at 25 degrees C. The apparent rate constants for the examined systems were calculated by pseudo-first-order kinetics. The results indicate that the rate of degradation was accelerated by ultrasound. The rate of degradation was increased by increasing power ultrasound. The efficiency of the (hydrogen peroxide+iron oxide+ultrasound) system for degradation of Rodamine B was higher than the others examined.
