The enhanced degradation of methyl orange in aqueous solution was achieved by means of contact glow discharge electrolysis (CGDE) through adding a small amount of Fe2+to the solution. Methyl orange was degraded and eventually decomposed into inorganic carbon when CGDE was carried out under an applied DC voltage of 480 V and a current of 65–80 mA. The oxidation process followed first-order kinetics; the degradation rate increased almost eight times in the presence of Fe2+. A reaction pathway is proposed based on analysis of the ultraviolet (UV) spectra of the solution and intermediate products from High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (HPLC-MS). The addition of hydroxyl radicals promoted by the Fe2+catalyst is a key step in enhancing the whole oxidation process.
