Abstract


The kinetics of the oxidative decolorization of amaranth with KBrO3 acidified by H2SO4 was followed up by monitoring the decrease of the
absorbance of amaranth at max = 520 nm. The reaction was carried out under pseudo-first-order conditions. The concentration of BrO3
- was
ca 300 greater than that of amaranth. The rate of reaction increased with increasing concentration of H2SO4 and BrO3
-, while amaranth had
no effect on the rate of reaction. The effects of the ions, Cl-, Br- and SO4
-- were investigated and the reaction rate increased with increasing
concentrations of chloride and bromide while it decreased with increasing concentration of SO4
--. A reaction mechanism has been proposed.
