Abstract: A photooxidative system for degradation of organic dye pollutant RhB as an objective compound was reported under visible irradiation(λ>450 nm) by using Fe3+/H2O2 as the Fenton reagent. It was found that,in the system with pH<3.0,visible light irradiation significantly accelerates the degradation process by photosensitive effect.After 160 min the RhB was mineralized with a yield of 71.8%.Bromocresol green reaction spectrophotometrically,spin-trapping electron paramagnetic resonance,UV-Vis spectroscopy,IR and total organic carbon(TOC) measurements were used to detect the photoreaction process.The photocatalytic degradation pathway mainly involves the formation of &#183;OH and carboxylie acids are the main intermediate products. H2O2 of Fe3+/H2O2/RhB system was utilized lowlier than that of supermolecular metal/organie complexes or supported catalysts system.
