Abstract: The kinetics of oxidative decomposition of fuchsine dye using selected Cu-doped lead zirconate (Cu-doped-PLZ) was studied carefully in an aqueous solution in the presence of H2O2 under condition of pseudo-first order reaction. The catalyst was prepared by conventional solid state reaction technique, the structural and micro-structural properties of the catalyst were characterized well by XRD and SEM respectively. Many of the kinetic parameters were investigated in this article , results obtained indicated that, the rate of oxidative degradation of acid fuchsine dye was found to be pH-dependent. The mechanism was proposed and the activation parameters were calculated.

Keywords: Cu- doped-PLZ , Kinetics,  SE-microscopy,  X-ray Diffraction, oxidative, Degradation, Fuchsine dye.
