The catalytic performances of LaBO3 (B: Fe,
Co, Mn, Ni) perovskite catalysts in Fenton-like oxidation of the textile dye,
Reactive Black 5 were compared, and, the optimum reaction conditions were
investigated in the presence of the most efficient catalyst. Reactive Black 5
was selected as the model dye due to its complex chemical structure, high water
solubility and common usage in the textile industry. The performances of the
catalysts in Reactive Black 5 degradation and decolorization were compared by
testing different catalyst loadings. According to the catalyst screening
experiments, LaFeO3 showed the highest catalytic performance whereas
LaCoO3, LaMnO3, and, LaNiO3 were not effective
in the degradation and decolorization of Reactive Black 5. A parametric study
was carried out in the presence of LaFeO3 catalyst in order to
determine the most suitable reaction conditions. In the parametric study, the
effect of catalyst loading, pH and the initial H2O2
concentration were investigated. The initial dye concentration and the reaction
temperature were kept constant at 100 ppm and 50℃, respectively. The most suitable reaction conditions
were determined as 0.1 g/L of catalyst loading, 3 and 1 mM of H2O2,
and, 96.9% degradation, and complete decolorization were achieved under these
conditions.
