Brilliant Green (BG) is a triarylmethane dye used commonly in manufacturing processes. Following use, BG may be discharged into streams and lakes endangering the welfare of animals due to its toxic and photo-inhibitory effects. It was found that a hypochlorite solution could discolor fully BG solutions. This study examines the effects of pH value on the reaction of BG with hypochlorite.
