Why was Methyl Orange chosen as a model pollutant for degradation studies?

Label:chem

Topic
Methyl Orange (MO) is a common small-molecule dye and a representative organic pollutant, making it suitable for evaluating the catalytic performance of the modified membranes in heterogeneous Fenton reactions. The degradation rate of MO by the M2 membrane was systematically investigated under various conditions.
Answer
Methyl Orange was selected as a model pollutant because it is a small-molecule dye frequently found as an organic pollutant, allowing for systematic evaluation of the membrane's catalytic degradation capabilities.
