Orthogonal Experiments for Optimizing Adsorption of Methyl Orange from Aqueous Solution

Article Preview

Abstract:

The adsorption of methyl orange dye from aqueous solution was investigated with active carbon powder as sorbents. Effects of selected factors were studied through the use of L16 (44) orthogonal experiment for the optimal parameter. The results demonstrated that the orders of their influences were contact time > initial dye concentration > the dosage of active carbon powder > pH. It was then concluded that contact time must be given priority in removing methyl orange dye from wastewater. Under the optimum conditions (the dosage 10g, time70min, initial dye concentration 35mg/L, pH7), The active carbon powder possessed good adsorption capacity to methyl orange which the removal efficiency could reached 95.96%.
