Kinetic and thermodinamic study of the oxidative catalytic degradation of acid orange 10 in the presence of oxone® and cobalt based catalyst

Abstract

Catalytic degradation of Acid Orange 10 in the presence of Oxone® activated by Co-impregnated acid activated montmorillonite as catalyst was investigated. The catalytic experiments were performed at different temperatures in range from 303 to 333 K in order to determinate kinetics parameters. The kinetics data followed the first-order kinetics model. The activation energy of the investigated degradation process was calculated according to the Arrhenius equation.
