Abstract

The applicability of FeVO₄ extended the optimum pH range for heterogeneous Fenton process towards neutral conditions.

The datas for the removal of OG in FeVO₄ systems conform to the Langmuir–Hinshelwood model.

The irradiation of FeVO₄ by visible light significantly increases the degradation rate of OG due to the enhanced rates of the iron and vanadium cycles.

In this study, FeVO₄ was prepared and used as Fenton-like catalyst to degrade orange G (OG) dye. The removal of OG in an aqueous solution containing 0.5 g·L^-¹ FeVO₄ and 15 mmol·L^-¹ hydrogen peroxide at pH 7.0 reached 93.2%. Similar rates were achieved at pH 5.7 (k = 0.0471 min^-¹), pH 7.0 (k = 0.0438 min^-¹), and pH 7.7 (k = 0.0434 min^-¹). The FeVO₄ catalyst successfully overcomes the problem faced in the heterogeneous Fenton process, i.e., the narrow working pH range. The data for the removal of OG in FeVO₄ systems containing H₂O₂ conform to the Langmuir–Hinshelwood model (R² = 0.9988), indicating that adsorption and surface reaction are the two basic mechanisms for OG removal in the FeVO₄–H₂O₂ system. Furthermore, the irradiation of FeVO₄ by visible light significantly increases the degradation rate of OG, which is attributed to the enhanced rates of the iron cycles and vanadium cycles.
