Abstract
Advanced oxidation process (AOP) followed by microfiltration (MF) was proposed for the removal of crystal violet from aqueous solutions to save energy, time and cost. Fenton's reagent was used to degrade the dye. The optimal composition of Fenton's reagent for an initial dye concentration of 100 mg L − 1 was 1000 mg L − 1 H 2O 2 and 100 mg L − 1 FeSO 4 7H 2O. A microfiltration membrane (average pore size of 0.31 μm) was used to remove the oxidation product at transmembrane pressures of 138, 207 and 276 kPa. Small changes in pH (6.4 to 6.2), total dissolved solid (360 mg L − 1 to 350 mg L − 1 ) and density (999.7 kg m −3 to 997.1 kg m −3) were observed during microfiltration. No dye and dispersed particles were found in the permeate. Thus, 100% dye removal was achieved by the hybrid process.
