TREATMENT OF A REACTIVE DYE, A DISPERSE DYE, AND THEIR MIXTURES USING H2O2/pyridine/Cu(II) SYSTEM LIM CHOOI LING UNIVERSITI SAINS MALAYSIA JULY 2009 TREATMENT OF A REACTIVE DYE, A DISPERSE DYE, AND THEIR MIXTURES USING H2O2/pyridine/Cu(II) SYSTEM by LIM CHOOI LING Thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science April 2009 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT This research project would not have been completed without the help and support from so many people. I am incredibly grateful to all my research supervisors, Associate Professor Dr Norhashimah Morad, Professor Teng Tjoon Tow and Dr Norli Ismail for being so generous with their time and patience, and constantly providing academic and personal support to me throughout my research endeavour. I wish to express my heartfelt thanks to Mr Y. T. Yong from Penfabric, Penang for his kind co-operation in providing me the industrial textile effluents. My sincere appreciation goes to Mr Sadali, Mr Fazli, Mr Mazlan and Mr Farhan for their kind assistance rendered to me throughout my experimental studies in the laboratory. Not forgetting my fellow labmates especially Yeek Chia, Reem, Mobin, Khai Ern, and Amir. I thank them all for making my working experience in the laboratory a joyous one and I sincerely wished them all the very best in their future undertakings. Finally, I owe special thanks to my family and all my friends for their love and endless support of me and my work.
