As a highest composition of dye wastewater, organic chemical, which has a harmful effect on the environment, can be successfully removed by using native magnetic active carbon nanoparticles or apolaccase loaded magnetic active carbon nanoparticles. In this study, the nano magnetite (FeO center dot Fe2O3), immobilized on active carbon and modified using apolaccase, will be used for removal of Basic Red 9 (BR9) from industrial wastewater. The nano magnetite (FeO center dot Fe2O3) was immobilized on active carbon and modified with apolaccase. Thus, Fenton and other procedures similar to Fenton were used. The surface varying of the active carbon was presented with SEM, FTIR, XRD and EDX. Numerous features such as pH of the reaction (3-9), temperature (20-80 degrees C), contact time (0-180 Min), initial BR9 concentration (0-50 ppm), and adsorbent concentrations (0-0.2 g were explored respect to their properties on BR9 removal. The adjusted parameters are found as follows: pH:6, temperature: (40-60 degrees C), contact time: 15 min, initial BR9 concentration: 50 ppm, and adsorbent concentration: 0.1 g, respectively. These results have shown that magnetic active carbon nanoparticles (MAC-NPs), (81.3 % yield) or apolaccase modified magnetic active carbon nanoparticles (MAC-NPs-Apolac) (84.13 % yield) could be using with the Fenton and Fenton like procedures for removing BR9 from industrial waste water. Furthermore, these experiments have revealed that adsorbent is a re-operational, inexpensive, bio friendly, easy to prepare, safe (Nano magnetite, H2O2 and active carbon) and insoluble material for Fenton reaction with apolaccase and without enzyme.
