Iron (III) oxide (Fe 3 O 4 ) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) coated iron (III) oxide (SDS@Fe 3 O 4 ) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by the co-precipitation method for application in the catalytic degradation of Rhodamine B (RB) dye. The synthesized NPs were characterized using X-ray diffractometer (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier transform infra-red (FT-IR) spectroscopy techniques and tested in the removal of RB. A kinetic study on RB degradation by hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) was carried out and the influence of Fe 3 O 4 and SDS@Fe 3 O 4 magnetic NPs on the degradation rate was assessed. The activity of magnetic NPs, viz. Fe 3 O 4 and SDS@Fe 3 O 4 , in the degradation of RB was spectrophotometrically studied and found effective in the removal of RB dye from water. The rate of RB degradation was found linearly dependent upon H 2 O 2 concentration and within 5.0 × 10 -2 to 4.0 × 10 -1 M H 2 O 2 , the observed pseudo-first-order kinetic rates (k obs , s -1 ) for the degradation of RB (10 mg L -1 ) at pH 3 and temperature 25 ± 2 °C were between 0.4 and 1.7 × 10 4 s -1 , while in presence of 0.1% w / v Fe 3 O 4 or SDS@Fe 3 O 4 NPs, k obs were between 1.3 and 2.8 × 10 4 s -1 and between 2.6 and 4.8 × 10 4 s -1 , respectively. Furthermore, in presence of Fe 3 O 4 or SDS@Fe 3 O 4 , k obs increased with NPs dosage and showed a peaked pH behavior with a maximum at pH 3. The magnitude of thermodynamic parameters E a and ΔH for RB degradation in presence of SDS@Fe 3 O 4 were 15.63 kJ mol -1 and 13.01 kJ mol -1 , respectively, lowest among the used catalysts, confirming its effectiveness during degradation. Furthermore, SDS in the presence of Fe 3 O 4 NPs and H 2 O 2 remarkably enhanced the rate of RB degradation.
