The degradation of rhodamine B in the F/Cu(II)/HO system was studied to evaluate the accelerating effect of F on the Cu(II)-catalyzed Fenton-like reaction. Effects of various parameters, such as F/Cu ratio, F and Cu concentrations, initial pH, temperature, HO and rhodamine B concentrations, were investigated. The results confirmed that there is a strong promoting effect of F on the Cu(II)-catalyzed Fenton-like reaction in a wide pH range of 4-11.
