Due to the problems presented with the use of photo-Fenton homogeneous system, for the decomposition of recalcitrant organic compounds, several studies have been conducted in order to replace it with heterogeneous processes. The heterogeneous reaction of photo-Fenton catalysts using iron oxide base (Fe2O3) is viable and reputable to overcome the problems presented by the homogeneous system. However, when used pure Fe2O3 has low efficiency due to the large size of the agglomerates formed, so deposition techniques on substrates used are seeking to reduce the size of the iron oxide agglomerates. Thus this study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of iron oxide nanoparticle supported on zeolite ZSM-5 mesoporous in removing organic pollutants contained in wastewater using photo-Fenton reaction system. The synthesis of zeolites ZSM-5, which served as a support, was performed using nucleating gel as driver structure and different amounts of carbon nanoparticles as mesoporosity agent. On the particles of hierarchical zeolites ZSM-5 were deposited iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe2O3). Supporters and materials after impregnation were characterized by diffraction of X-ray (DRX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and analysis of the adsorption / desorption of nitrogen (BET). The evaluation of different catalysts was carried out in photo-Fenton system employing different conditions reaction. From the characterization using x-ray diffraction, it was found that the only crystalline phase was formed from ZSM-5 with high crystallinity, which was adversely affected with increasing carbon content in the gel nanoparticles of crystallization. In the analysis of the BET was found that the formation of type IV isotherms, indicating the presence of mesoporosity in the ZSM-5 zeolites. It was found that with increasing content of carbon nanoparticles in the reaction medium resulted in an increase in the average size of the mesoporous formed. In the catalytic evaluation in the photo-Fenton reaction it was found that under the same reaction conditions, the iron oxide supported on hierarchical zeolite ZSM-5 showed higher activity for decomposition of dyes than pure iron oxide. It was also found that, the higher the degree of mesoporosity of support of iron oxide supported higher activity. The higher activity of supported iron oxide was attributed to the synergistic effect with the ZSM-5 zeolite, which has polar character, making the dye concentration in the catalyst system surface is high, providing conditions for the smooth progress of the reaction.
