Kinetics of the reaction between ozone and Cationic Red X-GRL
The ozonation of Cationic Red X-GRL in a semi-batch reactor was studied with variation of the gas flow rate, initial Cationic Red X-GRL concentration, temperature, and pH value. By the evaluation of the liquid mass transfer coefficient, the interfacial area, and the stoichiometric ratio between ozone and Cationic Red X-GRL, the rate constants and the kinetic regime of the reaction between ozone and Cationic Red X-GRL were investigated by applying the experimental data to a model based on the film mass transfer theory. The results obtained support a second order overall reaction, first order with respect to both ozone and dye, and the rate constants were correlated by a modified Arrhenius Equation of temperature and pH value with activation energy of 18.06 kJ.mol(-1). Hatta number of the reaction was found to be between 0.026 and 0.041, it indicates that the reaction occurs in the liquid bulk, corresponding to the slow kinetic regime.
