A Hybrid Ultrasound Assisted Advance Oxidation Process Using Ruthenium based Catalyst and its Application to Waste Water Treatment

S. Sivasankaran ^[7] | Sarvesht Dhingra ^[3]

Abstract: An experimental study has been conducted on the Degradation of Congo Red dye using a Hybrid Ultrasound Assisted Advance Oxidation process. The effects of initial dye concentration; Sonication time; amount of Catalyst and Hydrogen Peroxide Dosage were investigated The Degradation capabilities of the bimetallic catalyst was tested by a fixed concentration of Congo Red Dye at the same operating conditions. Degradation of the dye was found to increase as the given conditions like Sonication time; Catalyst amount and hydrogen peroxide dosage increases but decreases as initial concentration of the Congo Red dye increases; this due to the fact that the active site of the Catalyst can degrade a certain concentration of the dye. Characterization of the Bimetallic catalyst (Ru + NiO) was confirmed by XRD & SEM.
