Application of response surface methodology for optimization of dissolved solids adsorption by activated coal

Abstract The adsorptive removal of total dissolved solids by activated coal using response surface methodology was investigated. A four-variable central composite experimental design was applied to correlate the adsorption variables (effluent pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, and adsorption temper...
