The presence of MO in wastewater, due to the its toxicity must be treated before it is allowed to discharge. A novel study based on a dual oxidation process was carried out to degrade MO in the water samples. The dual oxidation process consisting of persultfate ions (PS), Zero-Valent Iron (ZVI), H2O2 and UV radiation, pH = 4.28 was proven to be most effective to decompose methyl orange from water samples. A empirical pseudo – first order rate equation was determined that fits the experimental data well.
