Abstract
The characteristics of Acid Blue 74 (AB74), Alizarin Red S (ARS), Acid Orange 7 (AO7) and Direct Red 28 (DR28) were investigated by using EEM fluorescence spectroscopy and UV-vis spectroscopy. The results suggest that the azo and anthraquinone dyes can be quickly distinguished from other dyes (such as AB74) according to their different total fluorescence intensity. During the decolorization process by the electro-Fenton technique, the total fluorescence intensity of the four dyes all would increase to their maximum value, but the fluorescence intensity increase in multiples of 12 (ARS), 61 (AO7), and 13 (DR28) times was much higher than that of AB74 (3 times). Furthermore, the different fluorescence intensities of the four dyes in the electro-Fenton process resulted mainly from their different chemical structure characteristics. Additionally, EEM spectroscopy can support much more information about the chemical structure characteristics of the dyes than the conventional UV-vis spectroscopy.
