A novel exogenous oxidant-free Fenton-like reaction system based on vacuum ultraviolet (VUV)/Fe2+/oxalic acid (Ox) was constructed and applied to the degradation of azo dye Acid Red G (ARG). Results indicated that this system enabled the dynamic release of H2O2, which further reacts with Fe2+ to trigger Fenton-like reactions, and maintained high reactivity over a wide pH range. Experimental data showed that under the conditions of initial ARG concentration of 60mg/L, Fe2+ concentration of 0.06mmol/L and Ox concentration of 0.7mmol/L, the ARG removal efficiency by the VUV/Fe2+/Ox system reached 96.2% within 5min, and the degradation process fitted well with the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. With the increase of initial solution pH, the ARG removal efficiency exhibited a decreasing trend. Even at pH=7, the first-order rate constant k still reached 0.454min-1, which was 69.6% of that at pH=3, demonstrating that the system could retain high reactivity under neutral conditions. During the initial 5min of the reaction, the concentration of H2O2 in the system gradually increased to a maximum of 62.5μmol/L, then decreased slowly and remained at 51.8μmol/L at 9min. Free radical trapping experiments and the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements collectively confirmed that hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and superoxide radicals (O2·-) were the dominant reactive oxygen species (ROS). In addition, common inorganic anions in aqueous environments (HCO3-, NO3-, Cl-, SO42-) all inhibited ARG degradation to varying degrees. Analysis via UV-visible absorption spectroscopy and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) revealed that ROS generated during the degradation process attacked the azo bonds and benzene ring structures in the ARG molecule, thereby achieving decolorization and removal of the dye.
