Catechin-PG-Fe shows spherical-like iron oxide nanoparticles of 80 nm dispersed on an amorphous surface, while the specific area was revealed to be significant (230.82 m<sup>2</sup>/g). Catechin-PG-Fe was then tested for adsorption of Reactive Yellow 145 Azo Dye. The uptake capacity was optimized by the central complex design and response surface methodology, where four adsorption parameters have been considered, including pH (1–5), adsorbent dose (0.6–1.4 g/L), dye concentration (20–260 mg/L) and time (50–250 min). Hence, the adsorbent shows an important capacity for Reactive Yellow 145 of 345.41 mg g<sup>−1</sup> at optimum conditions of pH = 1, adsorbent dose = 0.6 g/L, dye concentration = 260 mg/L, and a contact time of 200 min.

Mixed powder was put into SS 316L tube and compacted to avoid oxidation while being sintered at a temperature of 800 °C for one hour, prior to cold rolling with various size reduction.
