Fig. 1: Degradation of CR in single ML800, single ozonation, and ML800/O3 systems.

a Decolorization and b mineralization of CR in each system. c Variation in Acute toxicity during CR degradation in single ozonation system and ML800/O3 system. d Proposed degradation pathway of CR during ozonation. Experimental conditions: CR = 100 (a, b) and 500 (c) mg∙L–1, ML800 = 0.5 g ∙ L–1, O3 dose = 44.0 mg∙L–1, reaction time = 120 min.
