| Summary: | This research presents an approach of application Design of Experiment (DOE) used
with municipal wastewater together with activated carbon for the adsorption process.
DOE is systematic approaches to engineering problem-solving by determine the
relationship between factors/parameters affecting a process and the output of that
process. In other words, it is used to find cause-and-effect relationships. By using the
DOE, knowledge and estimate the best operating conditions of a system, process or
product can be obtained. Through this research, two types of activated carbon which
one the Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) and Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) have
been used as the main adsorption materials, to find the most suitable combination of
factors that be that influences for neutralized the pH level in municipal wastewater. This
DOE approach helps to eliminate non-value added factors while improving the time
performance during the adsorption process. In order to initiate a successful process,
results obtained through the experiment have been analyzed using Minitab 18 software.
Neutralized pH water from the wastewater can be achieved by a combination of
parameters/factors 250ml municipal wastewater adsorption with 1.25 gram of GAC
within the 3 minutes and 28 seconds of duration period.
Keywords: Activated Carbon, Granular Activated Carbon (GAC), Powdered Activated Carbon, Design of Experiment. |
