ABSTRACT |
A central composite design and response surface methodology were applied to investigate the optimum conditions for maximum
adsorption capacity in activated alumina as an adsorbent. The optimized conditions were determined for adsorption capacity using
variables of flow rate and temperature. It was found that flow rate and temperature greatly influenced the adsorption capacity, as determined
by analysis of variance analysis of these variables. Statistical checks indicated that second order polynomial equations were
adequate for representing the experimental values. The optimum conditions for adsorption capacity were 00C and 2,718 mL/min, with
the estimated maximum adsorption capacity of 17.82%. The experimental adsorption capacity was 17.75% under these optimum conditions,
which was in agreement with the predicted value of 17.82%. |
