Abstract

Abstract In this study, Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) were successfully prepared via oxidation–precipitation method and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The characterization results indicated that Fe3O4 NPs with regular crystal structure and a narrow of diameters had been synthesized successfully and had high purity. A series of experiments were carried out to investigate the degradation of Orange II by the obtained heterogeneous Fe3O4 catalysts in the presence of H2O2. The response surface methodology (RSM) based on Box–Behnken design (BBD) was employed to design and optimize individual and interactive effects of the four main independent parameters (catalyst loading, initial pH, reaction temperature and H2O2 concentration) on decolorization efficiency of Orange II. A significant quadratic model (p-value
