Optimization of the Adsorption Condition for Wastewater Containing Chromium Treatment by Natural Adsorbent Material Using Response Surface Methodology

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effect of several important parameters on the removal of hexavalent chromium by humic acid was evaluated using an optimal experimental design based on Box-Behnken Response Surface method. The factors included temperature、pH、initial potassium chromate concentration and adsorbent dosage. A quadratic model for predicting the optimum removal conditions was derived, and the obtained optimal parameters were temperature 51°C, pH=2.34, initial potassium chromate concentration 14.30mg/L and adsorbent 0.58g. At the optimal conditions, the maximal removal rate of hexavalent chromium reached 73.17 %( forecast value was 73.26%).
