Water is essential to all living beings. However, man has not given the necessary value and attention to preserve this wealth. Although humans do not make the water disappear from the planet, he has contributed much to the decline of its quality. Among various anthropogenic activities that, has contributed to water pollution, the industrial activity is one of the most prejudicials. The textile industry, for example, releases huge volumes of waste mainly dyes, which compromises the occurrence of photosynthesis and have high toxicity to the marine environment. Thus, this work aims to study the degradation of Methyl Orange via heterogeneous catalysis. In this study, preparation and characterization of metal particles stabilized silica were made, and these particles with different iron levels (50 %wt, 25 %wt and 5 %wt) attached to the support. The effect of various parameters such as initial pH, temperature and amount of catalyst on decolourization process were studied. Through testing it was observed that the amount of the catalyst influences the reduction reaction of the dye Methyl Orange. But when it reaches the saturation point, even if you add more catalyst is not possible to increase the degradation. By varying the temperature, it was observed that the higher the temperature the greater the degradation of the dye. This can be explained by the increased number of collisions between the active sites of the catalyst and the dye molecules. And by varying pH, it was found that acidic pHs allow the reduction reaction of the dye occurs faster and higher pHs make the degradation reaction of the dye slower , but still occur satisfactorily. The catalyst can be reused up to 3 times, without any prior treatment. Catalysts 50 %wt, and 25 %wt were able to degrade efficiently the dye, but the catalyst 5 %wt not proved to be effective. Tests under microwave radiation were performed and the reduction reaction occurred very effectively, with 100% degradation in just 2 minutes. Furthermore, we carried out the kinetic study, where according to experimental data, the reactions were classified as being of first order
