Abstract The waste pomelo peel was pyrolyzed at 400 °C to prepare biochar and used as adsorbent to remove norfloxacin (NOR) from simulated wastewater. The adsorption conditions of norfloxacin by biochar were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM). On the basis of single-factor experiment, the adsorption conditions of biochar dosage, solution pH and reaction temperature were optimized by Box-Behnken Design (BBD), and the quadratic polynomial regression model of response value Y1 (NOR removal efficiency) and Y2 (NOR adsorption capacity) were obtained respectively. The results show that the two models are reasonable and reliable. The influence of single factor was as follows: solution pH > biochar dosage > reaction temperature. The interaction between biochar dosage and solution pH was very significant. The optimal adsorption conditions after optimization were as follows: biochar dosage = 0.5 g/L, solution pH = 3, and reaction temperature = 45 °C. The Y1 and Y2 obtained in the verification experiment were 75.68% and 3.0272 mg/g, respectively, which were only 2.38% and 0.0242 mg/g different from the theoretical predicted values of the model. Therefore, the theoretical model constructed by response surface methodology can be used to optimize the adsorption conditions of norfloxacin in water.

The effect of 24 probiotics on disogenin production had been conducted in our preliminary work. Consequently, Lactobacillus casei was selected as the fermentation strain with high potential in biotransformation and effects of main parameters on biotransformation were verified through single factor variable experiments. The fermentation conditions were optimized using response surface methodology, which would be helpful to enhance biotransformation efficiency and achieve a high-valued utilization of DZW in diosgenin production. Single factor variable experiments indicated that biotransformation was highly depend on temperature. The conversion rate of saponin reached to (22.1 ± 0.6) %, (15.5 ± 0.3) % and (17.0 ± 0.4) % under each optimal condition of 43°C, 24 hours and 4% inoculum size respectively. According to results of single factor variable experiments, fermentation conditions were optimized through response surface methodology. The 32.4% of conversion rate and 3.95 µg/mL of diosgenin concentration were predicted to be optimal value under the condition of 42°C, 27 hours, 3% inoculum size. The verification results were (32.8 ± 0.9)% of conversion rate and (4.01±0.02) µg/mL of diosgenin concentration under the same conditions, which were close to the predicted values. The conversion rate increased by 41.9% compared to the initial value. Feasibility of converting saponin to diosgenin through probiotics by biotransformation was verified in this paper and the results could be the reference for a cleaner production of diosgenin.

Tunics corm saffron (TCS) is a low-cost adsorbent that removes methylene blue (MB) from an aqueous solution. The TCS was characterized using FTIR and SEM analysis. The influence of MB adsorption variables such as TCS dose (0.4–2.4 g L−1), contact time (0–120 min), MB dye concentration (100–500 mg L−1) was optimized Box–Behnken design (BBD) combined with response surface methodology (RSM) modeling. All three variables among the main parameters significantly affected the removal efficiency by applying the quadratic regression analysis. The results showed that the predicted values for MB adsorption were close to the experimental values and were in good agreement. Besides, the r2 value (r2=0.970) indicates that the regression can predict response for the adsorption process in the studied range. The optimum BBD-RSM for MB removal of 89.48 % was recorded at a TCS dose of 1.78 g L−1, contact time of 56 min, MB dye concentration of 176 mg L–1 at solution pH of 5.4 temperature 21 °C. Excellent regeneration of TCS to remove MB in sixth consecutive adsorption-desorption cycles. This work highlights that TCS offers tremendous potential as a low-cost for organic dyes removal from wastewaters.

Optimization of process conditions for the removal of Remazol Black B was investigated using response surface methodology (Box–Behnken design). The biodecolorization of dye was studied using biochar produced from waste biomass of Caulerpa scalpelliformis (marine seaweeds). The reactions were optimized by varying sorbent dosage, solution pH, temperature, and initial dye concentration. The results indicated that dye removal efficiency of 80.30% was attained at an operating condition of 4 g/L (sorbent dosage), 2.0 (solution pH), 35°C (temperature), and 0.25 mmol/L (initial dye concentration). The regression coefficient of the developed model was calculated to be 97% which shows good fit of the model.

In the present work, crab shell was used as the biosorbent to remove copper from aqueous solution. Batch experiments were performed at different initial copper concentration of copper solutions (1-40 g/l), initial pH (2-9), temperature (20-400°C), and biosorbent dosages (2-10 g/l). The maximum removal of copper using crab shell occurred at a pH of 3 and at a temperature of 400°C using an optimum biosorbent dosage of 5 g/l. A mathematical model was proposed to identify the effects of the individual interactions of these variables on the biosorption of copper. The results have been modeled using response surface methodology using a Box-Behnken design. The response surface method was developed using three levels (-1, 0, +1) with the above mentioned four factors. The second order quadratic regression model fitted the experimental data with Prob > F to be < 0.0001. The experimental values were found to be in good agreement with the predicted values, with a satisfactory correlation coefficient of R2 = 0.9999.

To increase the molecular weight of poly (phenylene sulfide ether) (PPSE), a novel route has been developed via the reduction of poly (phenylene sulfoxide ether sulfide ether) (PPSOESE) precursor. The synthesis of high molecular weight PPSOESE is essential for the ultimate purpose. Effects of process parameters on preparation of PPSOESE were firstly investigated and the optimization was performed by response surface methodology (RSM). Average number molecular weight (Mn) and Yield of PPSOESE were defined as the experimental responses. The statistical analyses indicate that the most significant factor is monomer concentration, followed by reaction temperature and the interaction of reaction temperature • monomer concentration. Under optimal conditions, the and Yield responses were obtained as 1.78 ×104±1.02 % and 93.6±1.3 %, which are in agreement with the predicted values of 1.80 ×104and 95.4 %, respectively. Structure of PPSOESE was also characterized. The highest intrinsic viscosity and yield of PPSE by the reduction of PPSOESE reached to 0.78 dL/g and 93.2%, respectively, much greater than the reported results. The work is helpful for forthcoming preparation and study of high molecular weight PPSE.
