Abstract

The treatment of simulated textile wastewater containing Direct Red 4B was studied through the use of Fenton's Reagent. Color removal and COD reduction were analyzed by varying the amount of hydrogen peroxide (2, 4, 6, 8mL), ferrous sulfate (1, 2, 3, 4mL) and varying the concentration of simulated textile wastewater (2000,3000,4000,5000ppm) Almost 100% decolorization was obtained in al;l of the ratios used. The highest removal obtained was 98.24% having COD level of 87.67mg/. This result was seen in the ratio 2:6:25 having a concentration of 2000ppm. The highest % COD reduction passes the standards set in DAO 35. Degradation of Direct Red 4B was proposed.
