“…Material designers and product designers can integrate Genichi Taguchi's method for robust design as an effective analysis tool for evaluating multiple parameters using the Theory of Constraints. [98][99][100][101][102][103] ISO 31000 risk management principles can be the starting point for the theory of constraints because ISO standards are internationally accredited quality standards that are widely used in the industry. 104 The effect of cold versus tropical versus semi-arid variations in temperature and humidity are design constraints that affect life cycle analysis parameters for the design of building products made from agriwaste.…”

Statistical Approaches With Emphasis on Design of Experiments Applied to Chemical Processes

Design of experiment is the method, which is used at a very large scale to study the experimentations of industrial processes. It is a statically approach where we develop the mathematical models through experimental trial runs to predict the possible output on the basis of the given input data or parameters. The aim of this chapter is to stimulate the engineering community to apply Taguchi technique to experimentation, the design of experiments, and to tackle quality problems in industrial chemical processes that they deal with. Based on years of research and applications, Dr. G. Taguchi has standardized the methods for each of these DOE application steps. Thus, DOE using Taguchi approach has become a much more attractive tool to practicing engineers and scientists.And since the last four decades, there were limitations when conventional experimental design techniques were applied to industrial experimentation. And Taguchi, also known as orthogonal array design, adds a new dimension to conventional experimental design. Taguchi method is a broadly accepted method of DOE, which has proven in producing high-quality products at subsequently low cost.

“…To reduce the number of experiments, only a small possible set was selected. The method of selecting a limited number of experiments that produce most information is known as fractional factorial design [24]. For 81 full factorial designs (3 4 ), Taguchi used L 9 OA where 9 indicates number of trial experiments required.…”

In the present study, Taguchi's experimental methodology has been applied to find optimum level (value) of adsorption parameters (factors) for the removal of indigo carmine dye (ICD) and methylene blue dye (MBD) using activated carbon derived from Acacia Nilotica sawdust (ACSA). The effect of significant adsorption parameters, viz. adsorbent dose (m), initial concentration (C 0), temperature (T) and contact time (t), on the adsorption capacity (q t) of ACSA for each dye has been discussed. Average values and S/N ratio for each parameter at three different levels have been estimated using L 9 orthogonal array (OA). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) has been used to identify the significant parameters and the most favourable optimal conditions for both raw data and S/N data. The study revealed that, for ICD, initial dye concentration is found to be the most significant parameter with 55.8% contribution followed by ACSA dose, temperature and contact time with 35.7%, 5% and 3.4% contribution, respectively. For MBD, the ACSA dose (m) is found to be the most significant parameter with 46.4% contribution followed by initial dye concentration, temperature and contact time with 44%, 5.3% and 4.4% contribution, respectively. The contact time (t) is found to be the least significant parameter in the overall sorption process for both ICD and MBD. The optimized levels of parameters for both dyes are found to be A 1 , B 3 , C 3 and D 3. The predicted and average confirmatory values of total dye adsorbed (q t) on ACSA at optimized levels were found to be 31.02 and 31.01 mg/g, respectively, for ICD and 57.35 and 57.36 mg/g, respectively, for MBD. The percentage removal of ICD and MBD at optimized levels was found to be 77.5% and 95.4%, respectively.
