The effect of variables such as initial MB (methylene blue)concentration, initial pH of solution (3-11), contact time (5-40 min), and catalyst dosage on homogeneous and heterogeneous ozonation systems was examined. The findings of the research showed that dye removal was better in alkaline conditions. The amount of dye removed in acidic conditions was slightly better than in neutral conditions (approximately 10% to 15%). In addition, the removal efficiency of dye was decreased by increasing of concentration. Besides, as the amount of catalyst (dosage) increased, the removal efficiency of MB had been increased by 40%. Due to the use of catalyst, the significant difference was between the use of two processes of single ozonation processes (SOP) and catalytic ozonation processes (COPs). The results indicated thatMB degradation in COPs was several times faster (approximately 4.7 times). It was due to the numerous advantages of these processes in the removal of environmental pollutants, they can be widely used in the removal of various pollutants if their cost can be reduced.
