ABSTRACT
The decolorization
of reactive orange 16 dye (RO16) from aqueous solution by CuO/H2O2 was
investigated. The amount of dye removed was determined by measuring the
concentration of the dye at its characteristic wavelengths by UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The effects of CuO dose, H2O2 concentration
and UV light on the decolorization of
the dye were investigated. It was found that the removal rate increased with
increasing mass of CuO and increasing concentration of H2O2. The
combination of CuO, H2O2 and UV light was the
best system with dye removal of 100% after 6 h. The removal efficiency observed
was in the order: CuO/UV/H2O2 > CuO/H2O2 > CuO/UV = CuO > UV/H2O2 > H2O2 > UV.

ABSTRAK
Penyahwarnaan
pewarna reaktif jingga16 (RO16) daripada larutan akueus oleh CuO/H2O2 telah
dikaji. Jumlah pewarna yang disingkirkan telah ditentukan dengan mengukur
kepekatan pewarna pada panjang gelombang ciri menggunakan spektrofotometer UV-nampak. Kesan dos CuO, kepekatan H2O2 dan cahaya UV ke atas penyahwarnaan pewarna telah dikaji. Kadar penyingkiran
didapati meningkat dengan peningkatan jisim CuO dan kepekatan H2O2. Kombinasi
CuO, H2O2 dan cahaya UV adalah
sistem terbaik dengan penyingkiran 100% pewarna selepas 6 jam. Kecekapan
penyingkiran adalah mengikut turutan: CuO/UV/H2O2 > CuO/H2O2 > CuO/UV = CuO > UV/H2O2 > H2O2 > UV.
