Vinotha, S. | Rose, A. Leema
Methyl Violet (MV), a triphenylmethane dye, has been subjected to comparative studies with hydrogen peroxide and dimethyl dioxirane under optimum situations. When employing hydrogen peroxide, the photolysis process becomes slower, but the dye solutions are entirely decolored and mineralized. The decolorization rate exhibits pseudo-first-order kinetics. The effect of pH, oxidant dosage, and methyl violet concentration on the degradation is also examined. Generated o-leucoaniline,1,3-diphenylurea,2-hydroxy benzoic acid, phenol, acetone, water, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide are identified and measured by GC-MS analysis. These substances remain in the dye solution along with dimethyl dioxirane, which is released faster during the last stages of degradation. The degradation rates of methyl violet reached 97.9% and 65.8% within 30 mins and 180 min of reaction time using dimethyl dioxirane and hydrogen peroxide.
