Effect of Terminalia catappa leaves (TCL) extract in inhibiting corrosion of mild steel was investigated. In order to obtain the maximum inhibition efficiency, optimization of the process variables affecting corrosion of mild steel was carried out using the Box – Behnken Design plan and desirability function of Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The three parameters - varied include; TCL concentration (inhibitor), immersion time, and temperature and there effects in corrosion inhibition were established. The optimum conditions predicted from the quadratic model were inhibitor’s concentratrion (0.39 g/l), exposure time (8.68 hours), and temperature (36.06 oC) with the inhibition efficiency of 91.95 %. The data fitted well to the quadratic model which was validated. Adsorption of the extract’s component on the mild steel was responsible for the inhibitory effect of the TCL extract.The results showed that 97.92% of the total variation in the inhibition efficiency of TCL can be connected to the variables studied. Keywords: Mild steel, acid, Terminalia catappa, Corrosion, Response surface methodology (RSM).

AbstractA combined ultrasound (US)/H2O2 process was used to oxidize arsenite to arsenate, yielding a synergistic effect value of 1.26. This showed that the combined process could be an effective method of oxidizing arsenite, instead of using either ultrasonic or H2O2 oxidation processes. This combined process was successfully modeled and optimized using a Box-Behnken design with response surface methodology (RSM). The effects of the US power density, the initial concentration of arsenite, and the H2O2 concentration on the sonochemical oxidation efficiency of arsenite were investigated. Analysis of variance indicated that the proposed quadratic model successfully interpreted the experimental data with coefficients of determination of R 2 = 0.95 and adjusted R 2 = 0.91. Through this model, we can predict and control the oxidation efficiency under different conditions. Furthermore, the optimal conditions for the oxidation of arsenite were found to be a US power density of 233.26 W L−1, an initial arsenite concentration of 0.5 mg L−1, and an H2O2 concentration of 74.29 mg L−1. The predicted oxidation efficiency obtained from the RSM under the optimal conditions was 88.95%. A confirmation test of the optimal conditions verified the validity of the model, yielding an oxidation efficiency of 90.1%.

Magnetic field assisted powder mixed electrical discharge machining (MFAPM-EDM) is a variant of EDM process where magnetic field coupled with electric field is used with addition of fine powder in dielectric to improve the surface quality, machining rate and stability of the process. Aluminium 6061 alloy as workpiece was selected due to growing use in aviation, automotive, naval industries. In this present work, parametric study and optimization was carried out on MFAPM-EDM machined Aluminium 6061 alloy. In this study, process parameters such as discharge current (IP), spark duration (PON), pause duration (POFF), concentration of powder (CP) and magnetic field (MF) were considered to analyze the effect on material erosion rate (MER) and electrode wear rate (EWR). Box Behnken design approach based on response surface methodology (RSM) was utilized for performing the experiments. Quadratic model to predict the MER and EWR were developed using response surface methodology. Discharge current has most significant effect of 50.176% and 36.36% on MER and EWR, respectively among all others process parameters. Teacher-learning-based optimization (TLBO) was employed for determining the optimal process parameters for maximum MER and minimal EWR. The results obtained with TLBO was compared with well-known optimization methods such as genetic algorithm (GA) and desirability function of RSM. Minimum EWR (0.1021 mm3/min) and maximum MER (30.4687 mm3/min) obtained using TLBO algorithm for optimized process parameters was found to better as compared to GA and desirability function.

In this study, the Box–Behnken design matrix and response surface methodology (RSM) have been applied in the experiments to evaluate the interactive effects of four most important operating variables: pH (2.0–4.0), temperature (30–40°C ),iron/carbon ratio(1/2–3/2)and iron carbon amounts (2-4) on the removal of Pb (II), Cu(II),Zn (II) and Cd (II) ions in acid mine drainage with micro-electrolysis (ME) . The total 29 experiments were conducted in the present study for the construction of a quadratic model. The independent variables have significant value 0.0001, which indicates the importance of these variables in the ME process. The values of “Prob > F” less than 0.0500 indicate that model terms are significant for the removal of Cr (VI), Ni (II) and Zn (II) ions. The regression equation coefficients were calculated and the data fitted to a second-order polynomial equation for removal of Pb (II), Cu(II),Zn (II) and Cd (II) ions with ME.

A comparative study of the inhibitory potentials of gum exudates from Albizia ferruginea (AF) and Khaya senegalensis (KS) on the corrosion of mild steel in HCl medium was investigated using weight loss and gasometric method. The active chemical constituents of the gum were elucidated using GC-MS while FTIR was used to identify the bonds/functional groups in the gums. The two gum exudates were found to be good corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in acidic medium. On comparison, maximum inhibition efficiency was found in Khaya senegalensis with 82.56% inhibition efficiency at 0.5% g/L concentration of the gum. This may be due to the fact that more compounds with heteroatoms were identified in the GCMS spectrum of KS gum compared to the AF gum. The presence of such compounds may have enhanced their adsorption on the metal surface and thereby blocking the surface and protecting the metal from corrosion. The adsorption of the inhibitors was found to be exothermic and spontaneous and fitted the Langmuir adsorption model.

Mass loss and thermometric methods have been used to study the corrosion inhibitory effect of synthesised Schiff's basesviz.N-(furfurilidine) – 4- methoxy aniline (SB1),N-(furfurilidine) – 4- methylaniline (SB2),N-(salicylidine) – 4- methoxy aniline (SB3),N-(cinnamalidine) – 4 –methoxy aniline (SB4) andN-(cinnamalidine) - 2-methylaniline (SB5) on mild steel in sulphuric acid solutions. Results show that both methods have good agreement with each other and inhibition efficiency depends upon the concentration of inhibitor as well as that of acid. Maximum inhibition efficiency is shown at highest concentration of Schiff's bases at the highest strength of acid.

Abstract Response surface methodology was used to determine the optimum storage conditions of malta fruits that give minimum weight loss and maximum total soluble solid (TSS) retained value. Scavenger (3–5 g), polythene thickness (75–125 gauge) and fungicide concentration (75–200 ppm) were the factors investigated. Experiments were designed according to Box–Behnken design with these three factors, including central points. For each response, a second-order polynomial model was developed using multiple linear regression analysis. Applying desirability function method, optimum storage conditions were found to be 5 g scavenger, 125 gauge polythene thickness and 200 ppm fungicide concentration.

The inhibitory effect of extract obtained from destructive distillation of palmyra palm (Borassus flabelliferLinn.) shell on the corrosion of mild steel in 0.5 M H2SO4and 1 M HCl was investigated using weight loss and electrochemical measurement techniques. The results show that the inhibition efficiency increases with increase of palmyra palm shell extract concentration. The maximum inhibition efficiency in 0.5 M H2SO4and 1 M HCl was found to be 97.65% and 98.11% for a period of 24 h with 3%v/v concentration of the inhibitor respectively. Thermodynamic parameters were evaluated from temperature studies. Results were fitted into suitable adsorption isotherms. Electrochemical measurements infer that the extract acted through mixed mode of inhibition. Efforts were made to analyze the effectiveness of shell extract of palmyra palm in industrial processes.

Red algae species, Euchema Spinosum (ES) in Malaysia possesses excellent biosorbent properties in removing dyes from aqueous solutions. In the present study, the experimental design for the biosorption process was carried out via response surface methodology (RSM-CCD). A total of 20 runs were carried out to generate a quadratic model and further analysed for optimisation. Prior to the evaluation, the characterisation study of the ES was performed. It was observed that the maximum uptake capacity of 399 mg/g (>95%) is obtained at equilibrium time of 60 min, pH solution of 6.9-7.1, dosage of 0.72 g/L and initial dye concentration of 300 g/L through statistical optimisation (CCD-RSM) based on the desirability function. It is demonstrated in the present study that the ANN model (R2=0.9994, adj-R2=0.9916, MSE=0.19, RMSE=0.4391, MAPE=0.087 and AARE=0.001) is able to provide a slightly better prediction in comparison to the RSM model (R2= 0.9992, adj-R2= 0.9841, MSE=1.95, RMSE=1.395, MAPE=0.08 and AARE=0.001). Moreover, the SEM-EDX analysis indicates the development of a considerable number of pore size ranging between 132 to 175 mm. From the experimental observations, it is evident that the ES can achieve high removal rate (>95%), indeed become a promising eco-friendly biosorptive material for MB dye removal.

Avocado peel has been considered as a potential source of natural antioxidants in which phenolics are among the most important compounds. Therefore, this study aims to optimize the extraction process of phenolics using response surface methodology and evaluate the corresponding antioxidant activity. From the quadratic model, the optimal condition was determined including the ethanol concentration 54.55% (v/v), the solvent/solute ratio 71.82/1 (mL/g), temperature 53.03 oC and extraction time 99.09 min. The total phenolic content and the total antioxidant capacity at this condition with minor modifications were 26,74 ± 0,04 (mg GAE/g DW) and 188.06 ± 1.41 (mg AAE/g DW), respectively. The significant correlation between total phenolic content and total antioxidant capacity was also confirmed. Key words: response surface methodology, central composite rotatable design, total phenolic content, total antioxidant capacity, avocado peel
