     mineralization of ponceau s (ps), an anionic azo dye, was studied using uv254 in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (hp) and ammonium persulphate (aps). effect of operational variables like ph, oxidant concentration and intensity of uv light, etc. on mineralization was analyzed. biotoxicity of the treated solutions was evaluated byescherichia coli (e. coli) colony forming unit (cfu) assay to know the suitability of the treated solutions to be released as effluents. hp and aps show equal efficiency towards mineralization at a given ph except 13, where higher mineralization was shown by aps than hp. the ph dependency of mineralization follows the order: ph 1 > ph 3 > ph 5 ≈ ph 6.62 ≈ ph 9 > ph 13. a preliminary study involving kio3 and kbro3, reveals that >73% mineralization is achieved at ph 1, while it varies from 40% to 46% in the ph range of 3–9. thus, the overall efficiency of the oxidants follows the order: aps ≈ hp > kio3 > kbro3in acidic to neutral ph and aps > kio3 ≈ kbro3 > hp at ph 13. the cost of treatment, evaluated on the basis of electrical energy per order (ee/o) was found to be higher at ph 6.62, the natural ph of ps, than at ph 1. considering environmental impact and cost of treatment at extreme low ph, the ideal ph of treatment should be 6.62. most importantly, the treated solutions still possess biotoxicity even after high mineralization and we are able to reduce the biotoxicity to the extent of 90%.
