[ Objectives ] In order to more effectively remove azo dyes from wastewater, a response surface methodology was used to study the kinetic process of photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO) in the presence of biosynthesized jarosite and oxalic acid. [ Methods ] Jarosite was synthesized through an oxidation of FeSO4 by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and Fourier transform infrared spectrum were used to characterize as-biosynthesized jarosite. The photocatalytic degradation of MO was carried out in an XPA-7 photochemical reactor,and a quadratic model was developed to fit the experimental data for process optimization. [ Results] The results demonstrate that MO can be catalytically degraded well by 100% in the jarosite/ oxalic acid system under ultraviolet irradiation after 25 min and a possible mechanism was proposed. [ Conclusions ] Optimum reaction parameters for the photocatalytic degradation of MO were jarosite loading of 0.2 g·L^-1 , oxalic acid concentration of 3 mmol· L^-1 and pH value of 4, respectively.
