Statistical Analysis and Optimization of Acid Dye Biosorption by Brewery Waste Biomass Using Response Surface Methodology

Biosorption of Acid Yellow (AY 17) and Acid Blue (AB 25) were investigated using a biomass obtained from brewery industrial waste spent brewery grains (SBG). A 2 full factorial response surface central composite design with seven replicates at the centre point and thus a total of 31 experiments were employed for experimental design and analysis of the results. The combined effect of time, pH, a...

Optimization of chromium(VI) biosorption using gooseberry seeds by response surface methodology

The current investigation presents the role of gooseberry (Phyllanthus acidus) seeds as an effective biosorbent for remediating chromium (VI)), a toxic heavy metal pollutant commonly found in effluents from tanneries and relevant industries. Biosorption was affected by pH, temperature and initial metal concentration. Furthermore, there is a need to understand the holistic effect of all...

Decolorization of Ionic Dyes from Synthesized Textile Wastewater by Nanofiltration Using Response Surface Methodology

Decolorization of aqueous solutions containing ionic dyes (Reactive Blue 19 and Acid Black 172) by a TFC commercial polyamide nanofilter (NF) in a spiral wound configuration was studied. The effect of operating parameters including feed concentration (60-180 mg/l), pressure (0.5-1.1 MPa) and pH (6-10) on dye removal efficiency was evaluated. The response surface method (RSM) was utilized for th...

Optimization of Biodiesel Production from Castor Oil Using a Microwave Via Response Surface Methodology (RSM)

The purpose of this research work was to investigate the optimum operating conditions for biodiesel production from castor oil using a microwave. The Box–Behnken design of experiment was carried out using the Design Expert 7. A response surface methodology (RSM) was used to analyze the influence of the process variables (molar ratio of methanol to castor oil, catalyst concentration, reaction ti...
