<br/><br/> ABSTRACT <br/>A significant environmental challenge is the efficient removal of organic pollutants <br/>from wastewater; in recent years, research on dye molecules' harmful effects on <br/>organisms, animals, and human health has increased significantly. Alcain Blue has <br/>been discovered to be helpful in determining protein based, bacteria staining, <br/>histochemical and electrophoretic staining, as well as a dye for fibroblasts. The <br/>decolourization of reactive dye solution was investigated in this work using ferrous <br/>and heat activated persulfate in water at three different temperatures (40°C, 60°C, and <br/>80°C) of heat persulfate and dye/ferrous/persulfate ratios (1:1, 1:2:1, 1:1:1/2, and <br/>1:4:1) within different intervals of time (0, 10, 30, 60, and 90mins). AB8GX <br/>concentration was observed at 50 mg/L at ambient pH The findings demonstrated that <br/>increasing temperature and persulfate concentration was beneficial for dye <br/>degradation, with decolourization efficiencies as high as 91% observed at 80°C <br/>temperature after 90 minutes of reaction at pH 3. The ratio 1:1:1 had decoloured after <br/>90 minutes with a pH of 3 and 73.07%. <br/>Keywords: AB8GX, Activated Oxidation Processes (AOPs), Fe2+ Degradation, Heat, <br/>Heat/PS, Persulfate (PS) radicals
