Abstract
This study is focused on elucidating the potential effectiveness of degradation as a method to eliminate dyes from aqueous systems. Specifically, it delves into the influence of ultrasound energy on the degradation kinetics of a dye. The research findings underscore the notable impact of ultrasound energy in accelerating the reaction rate constant (kp), with the degradation kinetics exhibiting a conformity to first-order kinetics. An integral aspect of the study involves the establishment of a robust relationship between time and concentration by integrating the equation governing the degradation of the dye. Additionally, the determination of the rate constant, derived from the gradients of the graphs, attests to the model's fitting accuracy. Intriguingly, the outcomes of this analysis reveal no discernible structural changes in the dye. The accuracy of the model is further underscored by the establishment of linear relations derived from experimental data. Summarily, this kinetic study provides invaluable insights into the multifaceted impact of ultrasound energy and the Fe2O3 catalytic influence on both the degradation kinetics of the dye. The comprehensive nature of the investigation enhances our understanding of the intricate processes involved, contributing significantly to the broader field of water treatment and dye removal from aqueous environments.
