The current study focuses on the degradation of Procion brilliant yellow H-E6G, an azo dye, using ultrasonic and hydrodynamic cavitation (HC), evaluating the impact of various parameters on the extent of degradation. The use of only ultrasound showed less oxidation capacity as indicated by only 19.1% degradation at an optimized power of 140 W, pH of 2.
