This study investigates the effect of low molecular weight carboxylic acid on degradation of textile dye C.I. Reactive Orange 16 (RO16), in function of initial pH, using Ultra Violet light and H2O2. Experiments were performed in photoreactor with UVC lamps in stationary conditions. Results shows that carboxylic acids have inhibitory effect on degradation process of dye. With increasing concentration of dye inhibitory effect grows. Inhibitory effect of acid are higher on pH values of solution higher than pKa acids, because than in solution acids appear almost entirely in the form of anion. The highest inhibitory effect shows formates, smaller propanoates, and the smallest acetates. UV/H2O2 process is very effective for removal of organic pollutants, but the efficiency of this process was significantly lower in the presence of lower carboxylic acids.
