In this study Advanced oxidation process using Fenton reagents is considered for the applicationrnof textile dye-house wastewater treatment. A representative basic dye-house wastewater samplernhas been brought from K.K. Textile Factory and its characteristic is analyzed and the resultrnshows that dye-house wastewaters, containing basic dyes, are hazardous to the environment sincerntheir COD & BOD values are higher than the free discharge limit values and also they are highlyrncolored even at the lower dye concentration operation cases. After characterizing the wastewater,rnadvanced oxidation of a Basic Blue 41 dyes using solar -Fenton treatment was investigated inrnbatch experiments using Box–Behnken statistical experiment design and the response surfacernanalysis. Dyestuff, H2O2 and Fe2+ concentrations were selected as independent variables in Box–rnBehnken design while color and COD removal were considered as the response functions. Colorrnremoval increased with increasing H2O2 and Fe2+ concentrations up to a certain level. Highrnconcentrations of H2O2 and Fe2+ adversely affected the color and COD removals due to hydroxylrnradical scavenging effects of high oxidant and catalyst concentrations. Both H2O2 and Fe2+rnconcentration had profound effects on decolorization. Percent color removal was higher thanrnCOD removal indicating formation of colorless organic intermediate. The optimal H2O2 / Fe2+ /rndyestuff ratio resulting in for the 99.75% color removal & 87.56% COD removal is found to bern1045mg/L / 52mg/L / 12mg/L ( 0, 0, -0.09 coded value).rnKey Words: advanced oxidation process, Box –Behnken experimental design, Fenton reagents,rnPercent color removal , percent COD removal
