For successful industrial scale-up and effective cost analysis of transesterification process, presentation of complimentary research data from process optimization using statistical design techniques, chemical kinetics and thermodynamics are essential. Full factorial central composite design (FFCCD) was applied for the statistical optimization of base methanolysis of sea almond (Terminalia catappa) seed oil using response surface methodology (RSM) coupled with desirability function analysis on quadratic model. Reaction time had the most significant impact on the biodiesel yield. Optimum conditions for biodiesel yield of 93.09 wt% validated at 92.58 wt% were 50.03°C, 2.04 wt% catalyst concentration, 58.5 min and 4.66 methanol/oil molar ratio with overall desirability of 1.00. Ascertained fuel properties of the FAME were in compliance with international limits. GC–MS, FTIR and NMR characterizations confirmed unsaturation and good cold-flow qualities of the biodiesel. Based on power rate law, second-order kinetic model out-performed first-order kinetic model. Rate constants of the triglyceride (TG), diglycerides (DG) and monoglycerides (MG) hydrolysis were in the range of 0.00838–0.0409 wt%/min while activation energies were 12.76, 15.83 and 22.43 kcal/mol respectively. TG hydrolysis to DG was the rate determining step. The optimal conditions have minimal error and would serve as a springboard for industrial scale-up of biodiesel production from T. catappa seed oil.

Study on kinetics and modeling of the essential oil steam distillation are required for the optimization of the energy requirement, parameters and the process scale-up. In this study, hydrodistillation for extraction of essential oils from lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) steam distillation was investigated. The recovery of essential oils was carried out on an industrial scale instrument and with with different material quantities. The experimental results are determined by the integral method of analysis. The kinetic parameters were evaluated from experimental data, which were generated at the different weights of the lemongrass. The extraction rate constant explaining the extraction efficiency achieved from this study is found to be k2 of 0.0661 min-1 in 710 kg using a second-order kinetic model. The GC/MS results revealed that 14 components were identified in Cymbopogon citratusoils. The oil is extremely rich in citral (69.775%), which obtained in 180 min.

Abstract The phenol removal through adsorption using industrial waste has been studied. The red mud generated as waste in the aluminum plants was used in this research. The surface characterizations of red mud were assessed. The batch experiment was investigated with pH (2–12), adsorption period (120–600 min), phenol content (40–200 mg/L), adsorbent dose (2–7 g/L), and temperature (30–50 °C). At the optimum operating condition, the percentage of phenol removal was 87.5%. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model (r2 = 0.98625–0.99994) fitted better than the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The Freundlich isotherm model was best fitted (r2 = 0.99734–0.99955) among Langmuir, Dubinin–Radushkevich (D-R), and Temkin isotherms. The Langmuir monolayer adsorption capacity was 49.30966 mg/g at 30 °C. The adsorption mechanisms were supported by Reichenberg, Fick, Elovich, Furusawa, and Smith and Boyd models (r2 > 0.8). The thermodynamics suggested endothermic, random, and spontaneous adsorption above 50 °C. The scale-up design using the Langmuir isotherm, and the disposal of used adsorbent after incineration, was established in this study. The research concludes that the red mud generated from the aluminum plant can be used to remove the phenol from wastewater.

Natural adsorbents as low-cost materials have been proved efficient for water remediation and have significant capacity for the removal of certain chemicals from wastewater. The present investigation aimed to use Citrullus colocynthis seeds (CCSs) and peels (CCPs) as an efficient natural adsorbent for methylene blue (MB) dye in an aqueous solution. The examined biosorbents were characterized using surface area analyzer (BET), scanning electron microscope (SEM), thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) and Fourier transform infra-red (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted to optimize the main factors influencing the biosorption process. The equilibrium data for the adsorption of MB by CCSs were best described by the Langmuir isotherm followed by the Freundlich adsorption isotherms, while the equilibrium data for MB adsorption by CCPs were well fitted by the Langmuir isotherm followed by the Temkin isotherm. Under optimum conditions, the maximum biosorption capacity and removal efficiency were 18.832 mg g−1 and 98.00% for MB-CCSs and 4.480 mg g−1 and 91.43% for MB-CCPs. Kinetic studies revealed that MB adsorption onto CCSs obeys pseudo-first order kinetic model (K1 = 0.0274 min−1), while MB adsorption onto CCPs follows the pseudo-second order kinetic model (K2 = 0.0177 g mg−1 min−1). Thermodynamic studies revealed that the MB biosorption by CCSs was endothermic and a spontaneous process in nature associated with a rise in randomness, but the MB adsorption by CCPs was exothermic and a spontaneous process only at room temperature with a decline in disorder. Based on the obtained results, CCSs and CCPSs can be utilized as efficient, natural biosorbents, and CCSs is promising since it showed the highest removal percentage and adsorption capacity of MB dye.

In this study, gardenia yellow solution is used to dye 100% cotton fabric. The dyeing rate curve and adsorption isotherms were recorded to explore the thermodynamic model and to calculate the corresponding parameters. A definite concentration of gardenia yellow solution was placed under the xenon arc lamp for irradiation to test its photodegradability. Absorbance of the solution was measured at different degradation times and the corresponding varying curve of the absorbance was drawn to explore the photodegradation reaction order of the natural colorant and consistent parameters were calculated. The experimental results proved that the dyeing of cotton fabric with gardenia yellow colorant followed the pseudo second order kinetic model whereas adsorption isotherm followed the Langmuir model and the photodegradation process followed the second order kinetic model. Values of different parameters were calculated: reaction rate constant k = 2.26 × 10–3 (mg · L−1)1−m h−1, the correlation coefficient R2 = 0.994, and half decay time t1/2 = 5.82 h.

The mineralisation kinetics of petroleum refinery effluent (PRE) by Fenton oxidation were evaluated. Within the ambit of the experimental data generated, first-order kinetic model (FKM), generalised lumped kinetic model (GLKM), and generalized kinetic model (GKM) were tested. The obtained apparent kinetic rate constants for the initial oxidation step (k2′), their final oxidation step (k1′), and the direct conversion to endproducts step (k3′) were 10.12, 3.78, and 0.24 min−1for GKM; 0.98, 0.98, and nil min−1for GLKM; and nil, nil, and >0.005 min−1for FKM. The findings showed that GKM is superior in estimating the mineralization kinetics.

Sorption capacity of two different parts of Eichhornia crassipes such as Lamina and Petiole on a Basic dye (Basic Aurophine-O), Acidic dye (Acid Fast Red-A) and Reactive dye (Brill Red-5B) was studied in a batch system. The maximum equilibrium uptake capacity of petiole was 25.5 mg/g for Basic Aurophine-O, 23.1 mg/g for Acid Fast Red-A and 0.18 mg/g for Brill Red-5B. The equilibrium uptake capacity of petiole was found to be more in Basic Aurophine-O dye when compared to all other dyes studied. The maximum equilibrium uptake capacity of lamina was 27.0 mg/g for Basic Aurophine-O, 25.2 mg/g for Acid Fast Red-A and 4.2 mg/g for Brill Red-5B. The equilibrium uptake capacity of lamina was found to be more in Basic Aurophine-O when compared to Brill Red-5B and Acid Fast Red-A dyes studied in the present investigation. From the result, it was observed that the uptake capacity of dyes using E. crassipes part Lamina was found to be more when compared to the other E. crassipes part of Petiole used in the present study. Sorption results were found to be fitted very well with the Pseudo-second order kinetic model when compared to Pseudo-first order kinetic model. The intra particle diffusion coefficient (Ki) and diffusion coefficient (Di) obtained for the removal of dyes studied using Lamina was found to be more when compared to the other part of Petiole. The polynomial equations are developed and can be used as a ready reckoner equation to find out the percentage color removal of dyes studied in the present investigation at different period of time intervals.
