What is the role of Vitamin C in the Fenton reaction?

Label:chem

Topic
Vitamin C (VC) plays a crucial role in promoting the Fenton reaction in the presence of the M2 membrane. Without VC addition, the degradation of Methyl Orange was negligible, indicating its importance in accelerating the reaction. Optimal concentrations of VC significantly enhanced MO degradation.
Answer
Vitamin C (VC) is vital for promoting the Fenton reaction, as it significantly accelerates the degradation of organic pollutants like Methyl Orange when added to the system.
