Adsorption of phenol using adsorbent derived from Saccharum officinarum biomass: optimization, isotherms, kinetics, and thermodynamic study.

ABSTRACT: The present research shows the application of Taguchi's design of experiment approach to optimize the process parameters for the removal of phenol onto surface of Saccharum officinarum biomass activated carbon (SBAC) from an aqueous solution to maximize adsorption capacity of SBAC. The effect of adsorption parameters viz. adsorbent dose (m), temperature (T), initial concentration (C₀) and mixing time (t) on response characteristics i.e., adsorption capacity (q_t) has been studied at three levels by using L₉ orthogonal array (OA) which further analyzed by variance analysis (ANOVA) for adsorption data and signal/noise (S/N) ratio data by using 'larger the better' characteristics. Using ANOVA, the optimum parameters are found to be m = 2 g/L, C₀ = 15
