The performance of the persulphate/Mn 3 O 4  nanoparticles (PS/Mn 3 O 4 ) oxidation process was investigated for the degradation of acid blue 113 (AB113) azo dye. XRD, N 2  adsorption-desorption analysis, FE-SEM and EDX confirmed the successful synthesis of Mn 3 O 4  nanoparticles. The effect of three independent variables including PS concentration, Mn 3 O 4  dosage and solution pH on the system response was optimised by genetic algorithm (GA) and central composite design (CCD) techniques. The results of ANOVA and fit statistics (P-value &lt; 0.0001,= 0.9772) showed that the proposed quadratic model can predict the AB113 removal efficiency with high confidence. The optimum points for PS concentration, Mn 3 O 4  dosage and solution pH were predicted to be 61.46 mg/L, 57.69 and 3.00, respectively, by CCD method. Under these conditions, after 60 min of reaction, the maximum experimental removal efficiency of AB113 in the PS/Mn 3 O 4  oxidation system and separate application of PS and Mn 3 O 4  were obtained 96.70%, 18.0% and 7.0%, respectively. The pseudo-first-order rate constants of AB113 degradation the PS/Mn 3 O 4  oxidation system and separate application of PS and Mn 3 O 4  were 0.0597, 0.0029 and 0.0015 min −1 , respectively. In this way, the synergistic effect for degradation of AB113 in the PS/Mn 3 O 4  was determined 92.6%. Oxalic acid, naphthalen-1-ol and acetic acid were the major identified intermediates due to AB113 degradation.
