In the present study, we examine the adsorption of the cationic dye Malachite Green (MG) onto two metal-organic frameworks: ZIF-8 and Fe-BTC. The preparation of beads was effectively carried out through the polymer coating process utilizing sodium alginate. To study the effect of different factors on adsorption capacity and removal %age of Malachite Green in a batch process, we employed a 2 3 factorial design study analysis. The investigation involved three primary factors, each with two levels: MOF type (A: Fe-BTC and ZIF-8), MOF bead dosage (B: 50 mg to 100 mg), and initial concentration (C: 5 mg/L to 17 mg/L). The primary effects of these variables and their interactions were examined using Response Surface Methodology (RSM), main effect, interaction effect, and Pareto chart. The factorial design analysis, conducted using analysis of variance (ANOVA), revealed that the most significant factor influencing adsorption capacity was the initial concentration of MG, followed by the dosage of MOF beads and the type of MOFs.
