Abstract: Increasing environmental pollution caused by toxic dyes is a matter of great concern due to their hazardous nature. So it is crucial
to develop processes which can destroy these dyes effectively. It has been generally agreed that reactive orange 5 (KGN) can be ef-
fectively degraded in aerated phosphotungstic acid (HPA) in a homogeneous reaction system using near-UV irradiation. In this paper,
photocatalytic degradation of reactive orange 5 solutions with phosphotungstic acid was investigated, especially more attention was
paid to the kinetic model and the anion degradation products. The results revealed that the photocatalytic degradation reaction of KGN
D
with HPA in a homogenous solution can be described by Langmuir-Hinshelwood equation and Langmuir–Hinshewood kinetic model
described it well. The reaction manifested the first order with lower concentration(≤30 mg L-1) with the limiting rate constant and the
adsorption constant in this case being 0.8098 mg L−1 min−1 and 4.359 10−2 L mg−1, respectively. The degradation mechanism of KGN
TE
with HPA is different from that with TiO2, the anion products of the two reaction systems are the same. The difference in degradation
mechanism of KGN with HPA from that with TiO2 is caused by the nature of the photocatalyst.

This paper revealed that the photocatalytic degradation
of KGN was a pseudo first-order reaction when the
concentration of KGN is below 30mgL-1 and the
