Keywords:
Areca Husk Fibre Carbon, Methylene Blue, Factorial Design, ANOVA, DOEAbstract
The factorial experimental design technique used to investigate the adsorption of cationic dye Methylene Blue (MB) from wastewater onto Areca Husk Fibre Carbon (AHFC). There is a growing interest in using low-cost and commercially available materials for the adsorption of dyes. The structural and morphological features of activated carbon are characterized by FTIR, XRD, SEM and EDAX studies. Batch experiments are carried out for the adsorption of dye molecules onto AHFC. Various adsorption parameters such as pH, temperature and particle size of the adsorption capacity are studied. The Factorial Design (23 ) is adopted for the various parametric studies and from these studies the interactions between three process parameters for the adsorption of dye is evaluated. The factors pH 4-9, particle size 100-250 BSS mesh number and temperature 300-320 K are the optimum levels for this adsorption phenomenon. These results of adsorption are subjected to statistical analysis by using the t-test, ANOVA, F-test. These statistical tools have been applied to test the fitness of adsorption. To optimize and to know the maximum efficiency, all these values revealed from this study are used to obtain the normal probability plots, main & interaction plots, Pareto charts and contour plots from which the regression values are evolved by using Design of Experiment software with a revelation of the best fitness on these experimental data. Physico-chemical characteristics and adsorption efficiency of AHFC of the wastewater are also being determined. The results revealed that AHFC is potential adsorbent for the adsorption of dye molecules onto AHFC.
