The aim of this work is to discuss the relative contribution of homogeneous and heterogeneous Fenton processes in the treatment of Orange II dye solutions at pH 3 and 7 using an ion exchange resin as iron support. While at pH 3, 99% of the colour was removed, under neutral conditions a decoloration of 56% was observed. Studying the release of iron from the resin, we found a concentration of 1.49 mg/L of ferric ion and 0.31 mg/L of ferrous ion at pH 3 and 1.08 mg/L and 0.11 mg/L at pH 7, revealing that as expected, dissolution of iron ions at pH 3 is larger. Using these concentrations in a homogeneous process, 45% of the colour can be removed at pH 3 and 10% at pH 7, so it was infered that there is an effect of the iron that is still supported on the resin. In this way, a mixed homogeneous/heterogeneous mechanism could be proposed. While the experimental data for the desorption of iron at pH 3 was well suited to a pseudo second order kinetic model, the desorption of iron at pH 7 was fit to pseudo-first order kinetics. Experimental results of dye decolorization were on the other hand, fitted to a pseudo first order kinetics.
