A novel process for decolorizing dyes with sulfate radicals (SO4鈥⑩€?/sup>) using an Fe(II)/sulfite system is reported in this manuscript. The objective of this study was to investigate the conditions under which Fe(II) activates Na2SO3 to produce SO4鈥⑩€?/sup> and decolorize organic dyes. Orange II, Rhodamine B, Indigo Carmine, and Reactive Brilliant Blue X-BR could be efficiently decolorized using this novel system, which was compared with the Fe(II)/persulfate and Fenton (Fe(II)/H2O2) systems. The Fe(II)/sulfite system surpassed the other two in the decolorization of these dyes, and detailed mechanisms of the Fe(II)/sulfite system were researched. Primary radical identification through quenching experiments using tert-butyl alcohol and ethanol confirmed the existence of SO4鈥⑩€?/sup>, HO鈥?/sup>, and SO5鈥⑩€?/sup>. A kinetic model was established for the halide ion effect, and kI鈥?/sup>,SO4鈥⑩€?/sup> (3.2 脳 1011 mol鈥? L s鈥?) and RSO4鈥⑩€?/sup>f (10鈥?鈥?0鈥? mol L鈥? s鈥?) were indirectly derived. In conclusion, the Fe(II)/sulfite system is a good candidate for use in detoxifying water contaminants.
