New Approach for Nylosan Red Textile Dye Elimination : Response Surface, DoE Validation

Abstract

N-2RBL Nylosan Red is an anionic toxic textile dye in large use. Textile wastewater removal requires a detailed study of numerous processing steps. The effectiveness of the electrocoagulation process used to remove a dye from wastewater was evaluated in this study. We consider response surface methodology (RSM) in the optimization of the degradation of N-2RBL Nylosan Red (NR) by adsorption process, using activated carbon made from artichoke leaves. A 2² full factorial design was employed to design runs and analyse the effects of three independent factors: pH (2-11), dose (0.5-4 g/L) and time (5-30 min), as well as the interaction factors on the reaction rate (%). According to the results, pH had the most significant impact on the removal efficiency of NR. The maximum dye removal efficiency of 97.31 % was achieved at optimum conditions.
