The invention discloses a process for preparing a Fenton catalyst by using KOH modified rice husks, and applications of the Fenton catalyst in degradation of printing and dyeing wastewater. The process comprises: S1, preparing KOH modified rice husks: adding rice husks into an 80-100 g/L KOH solution, carrying out water bath stirring treatment at 50-80 DEG C for 40 min, washing, drying, and crushing; S2, preparing hydrochloric acid doped polyaniline; and S3, preparing a KOH modified rice husk loaded Fenton catalyst: sequentially adding the hydrochloric acid doped polyaniline, FeSO4.7H2O, FeCl3.6H2O and the KOH modified rice husks into a DMF solution containing 0.01 mol/L AgNO3, carrying out a stirring reaction for 24 h at 40 DEGC under the action of ultrasonic waves, adding a 0.25 mol/L KOH solution in a dropwise manner for 2 h, continuously stirring for 30 min, ending, filtering, washing, drying, and roasting for 3 h at 150-200 DEG C in an N2 atmosphere. According to the invention, the nanometer Ag-Fe2O3/KOH modified rice husk composite Fenton catalyst is synthesized by firstly using the KOH modified rice husk as the carrier through the in-situ one-step method at a low temperature, so that the operation is simple, the preparation cost is low, the catalytic activity is high, the selectivity is strong, and the catalyst can be recycled.
