CuO nano-particles were prepared by the liquid-phase reduction method and the effect of the dispersant was studied. The microstructure, surface morphology and optical properties of CuO nano-particles were characterized by X-ray diffractometer, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, nitrogen static adsorption, scanning electron microscope, particle size analysis, ultraviolet visible light spectrophotometer and photoluminescence spectrometer. The photocatalytic degradation of fluroxypyr using CuO was studied by the response surface methodology, and the quadratic multinomial mathematical model was established.
