“…This design can easily be constructed by augmenting the fractional factorial design that was used for estimating the first-order model (Khuri 1996;Myers et al 2005). The advantages of CCD lie in its use in sequential experimentation (Myers et al 2005;Kumar et al 2006;Garg et al 2008;Bhatti et al 2011;Alkhatib et al 2015;Rehman et al 2015).

Fluoride pollution in groundwater is a major concern in rural areas. The flower petal of Shorea robusta, commonly known as sal tree, is used in the present study both in its native form and Ca-impregnated activated form to eradicate excess fluoride from simulated wastewater. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used for experimental designing and analyzing optimum condition for carbonization vis-à-vis calcium impregnation for preparation of adsorbent. During carbonization, temperature, time and weight ratio of calcium chloride to sal flower petal (SFP) have been considered as input factors and percentage removal of fluoride as response. Optimum condition for carbonization has been obtained as temperature, 500°C; time, 1 h and weight ratio, 2.5 and the sample prepared has been termed as calcium-impregnated carbonized sal flower petal (CCSFP). Optimum condition as analyzed by one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) method is initial fluoride concentration, 2.91 mg/L; pH 3 and adsorbent dose, 4 g/L. CCSFP shows maximum removal of 98.5% at this condition. RSM has also been used for finding out optimum condition for defluoridation considering initial concentration, pH and adsorbent dose as input parameters.The optimum condition as analyzed by RSM is: initial concentration, 5 mg/L; pH 3.5 and adsorbent dose, 2 g/L. Kinetic and equilibrium data follow Ho pseudo-secondorder kinetic model and Freundlich isotherm model, respectively. Adsorption capacity of CCSFP has been found to be 5.465 mg/g. At optimized condition, CCSFP has been found to remove fluoride (80.4%) efficiently from groundwater collected from Bankura district in West Bengal, a fluoride-contaminated province in India.

“…According to Table 3, the values of lack of fit p-value corresponding to the quadratic model was less than 0.05. As a result, lack of fit for this model was negligible [39]. In Table 4, lack of fit for all models was significant (p-value > 0.05).…”

“…In order to comply with the strict environmental standards, it is essential for process industries to treat effluents to desired levels before discharging into the natural environment. Various researchers have used different techniques for chromium extraction including electro coagulation [8,9]; membrane processes [10]; low cost adsorbents including agriculture waste [11][12][13]; solvent extraction [14]; chemical precipitation and redissolution [15]. Amongst these techniques, two step chemical reduction and precipitation method is more popular in India.…”
