abstract = "ABSTRACT – Organic dyes from industry wastewater pollute water tables. Here proposed environmental
solution relies on pristine red soil for oxidative degradation of methylene blue dye. Soil analysis comprised
spectroscopic (FTIR and Raman) and microscopic (SEM/EDS) techniques, while spectrophotometry was
applied for dye quantification. The dominant soil mineral is kaolinite, while Fe homogeneous distribution
is witnessed in the γ-FeO(OH) form. Soil/Fenton reagent achieved substantial 93% dye removal. An optimal
oxidant concentration in the Fenton system is 10 mM. We confirm the excellent performance of pristine
red soil samples as naturally occurring adsorbents and catalysts in Fenton oxidation of environmental
pollutants.",
