Kinetics and Mechanism of Oxidation of Crystal Violet by Oxone

The waste water treatment of dye bath involve degradation and removal of color by oxidation processes. These oxidative processes are useful for the treatment of waste water from the textile industries which allows it for reuse. The reaction was studied for crystal violet dye under pseudo first order condition at constant temperature 25 ± 0.1oC The stoichiometry was found to be one mole of crystal violet requires two moles of oxone. There was no effect of acrylonitrile observed .The mechanism of the reaction involves interaction between the substrate and the oxidant in prior equilibria. The present reaction might also involve such an ion-pair formation.
