Sonochemical bleaching of monoazo dyes C.I. Acid Orange 7 and C.I Acid Orange 8, which exist in their hydrazone forms in dye solutions, was investigated by irradiating 40 microM dye solutions using a 300 kHz emitter. It was found that the rate of bleaching was first-order with respect to the maximum absorption of the dye in the visible band and accelerated with increased acidity. Decolorization of Acid Orange 7 was slightly faster than that of Acid Orange 8 at equivalent test conditions. The oxidative degradation of Acid Orange 7 and Acid Orange 8 were modeled by means of density functional theory calculations. The adduct formation by hydroxyl radical attack to the carbon atom bearing the azo linkage was more preferred over the attack on the nitrogen atom. A competing reaction of hydrogen abstraction from the CH3 group in C.I Acid Orange 8 was found responsible for the difference in color removal rates.

This work was conducted to study the ability of permanganate (KMnO(4)) oxidative treatment as a method to decolourise the solutions containing azo dye C.I. Acid Orange 7, C.I. Acid Orange 8, C.I. Acid Red 14, or C.I. Acid Red 73, in a batch system. The results of the study demonstrated the complete removal of the colour and partial mineralization for each dye solution. The effect of the key operating variables such as initial dye concentration, permanganate amount, pH and temperature were studied. Decolourisation reactions were influenced by the acidity and temperature of the treated solutions. To avoid the overdose of KMnO(4), the stoichiometric amount of permanganate required for 1 mol of dye complete colour removal was determined. The reactions between permanganate and C.I. Acid Orange 7, C.I. Acid Orange 8, C.I. Acid Red 14 and C.I. Acid Red 73 dyes in acidic medium exhibit (2.05, 2.20, 2.42 and 2.79):1 stoichiometry (MnO(4)(-):dye). Dye degradation efficiency by potassium permanganate was studied, monitoring total organic carbon (TOC). The results indicated that the degradation efficiency of azo dyes increased with the increase of the potassium permanganate amount. Meanwhile, even in large excess of the oxidant, the dye mineralization was incomplete.
