Description
Summary:A two-phase separation method called cloud point extraction (CPE) does not use hazardous or flammable organic solvents. The efficient removal of the dye Reactive Black-5 (RB-5) from an aqueous solution using Triton X-114, a nonionic surfactant, is described in this study. Three-level factorial design and response-surface methods were used to quantify the impact of process variables on the CPE process, such as operating temperature and surfactant concentration. Investigations were conducted into how these process variables affected the ratio between the phase volumes, the concentration of dye in the surfactant-rich phase, and the residual amounts of dye in the diluted phase. As a result, ANOVA was used to create and validate mathematical models. The findings demonstrated that the correlation coefficients (R2) exceeded 0.98. The acquired findings showed that the suggested extraction process is efficient, and the proposed CPE approach removes 98% of the RB-5 dye under optimal conditions.
