ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEM ENGINEERING (ESE): MODELING AND OPTIMIZATION OF A TEXTILE EFFLUENT DISCOLORATION PROCESS BY SORPTION by CARMEN ZAHARIA

“…The present paper proposes the study of modeling and optimization of an environmental system (i.e. textile wastewater treatment system based on sorption onto indigene peat) for its discoloration (consequently, decreasing of color, organic and inorganic loads of effluent discharged in aquatic receptor, or inside reused). All performed laboratory tests consisted in 22 hours-sorption experiments onto peat applied for a real colored textile effluent, organized with respecting of an empirical planning by a central active composite rotatable 23 order design, considering as independent variables the peat dose (X1), pH (X2), and temperature (X3), and as optimization criterion, or decision function, the discoloration degree, or color removal (Y, [%]). …”
