Optimization of phosphate removal from drinking water with activated carbon using response surface methodology (RSM)

The presence of phosphate in water has become a worldwide problem because of improving eutrophication and decreasing the quality of water. In this work, phosphate (PO43-) removal from water using activated carbon was studied and main process parameters such as initial phosphate concentration (C0), a...

Description
Summary:The presence of phosphate in water has become a worldwide problem because of improving eutrophication and decreasing the quality of water. In this work, phosphate (PO43-) removal from water using activated carbon was studied and main process parameters such as initial phosphate concentration (C0), adsorbent dosage, and pH of solution have been optimized to obtain maximum removal. Central composite design in response surface methodology (RSM) package has been used to perform the experimental design according to RSM analysis, the phosphate removal model proved to be highly significant with very low probability value (
