Oxidation of pollutants in waste water by photo-Fenton reaction has proven an eco- friendly and economical method. Oxidation of amido black – 10B, (an acid dye of azo series) using photo-Fenton reagent was investigated under ambient conditions. The effect of different parameters like the concentration of ferric ion, amido black- 10B and hydrogen peroxide, pH, light intensity etc. on the reaction rate has been observed. A tentative mechanism for the degradation of amido black-10B by photo-Fenton has been proposed.
