The potential implementation of Envifer®, a commercial product containing potassium ferrate (40.1% K2FeO4), for the purification of highly contaminated tannery wastewater from leather dyeing processes was proposed. The employment of the Taguchi method for optimization of experiments allowed the discoloration (98.4%), chemical oxygen demand (77.2%), total organic carbon (75.7%), and suspended solids (96.9%) values to be lowered using 1.200 g/L K2FeO4 at pH 3 within 9 min. The application of the central composite design (CCD) and the response surface methodology (RSM) with the use of 1.400 g/L K2FeO4 at pH 4.5 diminished the discoloration, the chemical oxygen demand, the total organic carbon, and suspended solids within 9 min. The Taguchi method is suitable for the initial implementation, while the RSM is superior for the extended optimization of wastewater treatment processes.

Dual rotation plates lapping method can effectively solve the limitations of traditional ceramic ball machining methods. This paper focuses on the application of Taguchi method to optimize the technique parameters to lap ceramic ball. The main objective is to study impact degree of the process parameters (lapping load, lapping speed combination and slurry concentration). The results show that the experimental design based on Taguchi method can determine the optimum machining conditions which improve the surface quality and geometrical precision of ceramic ball.

During the last few years, several sheet hydroforming processes have been introduced. Despite the advantages of these methods, they have some limitations. Of the processes, the two main ones are the standard hydroforming and hydromechanical deep drawing. A new sheet hydroforming die set was proposed that has the advantages of both processes and eliminates their limitations. In this method, a polyurethane plate was used as a part of the die-set to control the blank holder force. This paper outlines the Taguchi optimization methodology, which is applied to optimize the effective parameters in forming cylindrical cups by the new die set of sheet hydroforming process. The process parameters evaluated in this research are polyurethane hardness, polyurethane thickness, forming pressure path and polyurethane hole diameter. The design of experiments based upon L9 orthogonal arrays by Taguchi was used and analysis of variance (ANOVA) was employed to analyze the effect of these parameters on the forming pressure. The analysis of the results showed that the optimal combination for low forming pressure is harder polyurethane, bigger diameter of polyurethane hole and thinner polyurethane. Finally, the confirmation test was derived based on the optimal combination of parameters and it was shown that the Taguchi method is suitable to examine the optimization process.

AbstractSevere plastic deformation methods like shot peening (SP) are known as efficient surface treatments and grain refining processes which afford more effective properties in metallic materials. In the current research, a comprehensive study was carried out on SP of AISI 316 L steel. It included 42 different SP treatments with a wide range of Almen intensities of 12–27 A and various coverage degrees (100%–1500%). Several experimental tests were conducted in order to explore the microstructure, grain size, surface topography, hardness, wettability, and residual stresses of the specimens. Next, two different approaches including Taguchi method (TM), and response surface methodology (RSM) were deployed for modeling, analysis, and optimization. RSM and TM were used to examine the influence of the effective parameters. Based on the optimized results, the fatigue behavior of the selected treatments was investigated experimentally in both smooth and notched specimens. Graphical abstract

Sound pollution has become an important issue that has been addressed by scientists of various disciplines. Control of sound in areas of transport and building industries is of paramount importance. Textiles are widely used as sound insulators. Among the broad spectrum of textiles, nonwoven fabrics due to their technical merits and wide acceptance are extensively used as sound controlling media. In this work, various blends of polypropylene and naturally grown hollow Estabragh fibers were used to prepare sound absorptive nonwoven layers. The fiber blends were fed to a laboratory scale carding machine. Carded webs were lightly needled on a laboratory scale needling machine. Acoustic properties of needled samples were evaluated using the Impedance tube method. The Taguchi method was used to analyze the effective parameters influencing fabric acoustic properties. Results show that the proportion of Estabragh fibers in the blends strongly affects the noise absorption coefficient (NAC). Frequency is the second effective factor and is followed by nonwoven layer mass (areal density) and punch density, respectively. It was concluded that layers comprised of 100% Estabragh fibers achieved the highest value of NAC. The results also pointed to existence of a direct correlation between noise absorption coefficient and the amount of punch density exerted during needling process. It was found that the increase in the amount punch density resulted in higher values of NAC.
