Intensification of the photodegradation efficiency of an emergent water pollutant through process conditions optimization by means of response surface methodology

Lidia Favier et al.

Summary: Heterogeneous photocatalysis is a promising technique for the removal of the biorefractory water pollutant clofibric acid. The study demonstrates that the efficiency of photocatalytic degradation can be significantly improved through response surface methodology-based optimization. The optimal photocatalytic conditions achieved approximately 70% carbon mineralization for a pollutant concentration of 1.5 mg/L, catalyst concentration of 0.61 g/L, and irradiation time of 190 min. Furthermore, nitrate was found to have a positive effect on pollutant removal, while hydrogenocarbonates slowed down the elimination process.

Critical minority fractions causing membrane fouling in reclaimed water: Fouling characteristics, mechanisms and control strategies

Yuan Bai et al.

Summary: In this study, a crucial type of foulant, called the critical minority fraction (FCM), was identified as the main cause of membrane fouling in wastewater reclamation. FCM, with a molecular weight greater than 100 kDa, could be easily separated by physical filtration using a 100 kDa cut-off membrane. It was found that FCM, accounting for less than 20% of the total dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in reclaimed water, contributed to more than 90% of the membrane fouling. The interaction between FCM and membranes was identified as the pivotal fouling mechanism, leading to severe fouling development. Targeted fouling control strategies, such as ozonation and coagulation, were applied and proved to effectively alleviate membrane fouling.

Response surface methodology-based modelling and optimization of sustainable UHPC containing ultrafine fly ash and metakaolin

Mohamed Abdellatief et al.

Summary: This study investigates the use of a statistical model supported by response surface methodology (RSM) for formulating and optimizing sustainable ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) mixtures with industrial waste materials. The effects of three main variables (ultra-fine fly ash, metakaolin, and steel fibre content) on the behavior of UHPC were examined. Twenty UHPC mixtures were designed using central composite design in RSM, with workability, density, compressive and splitting tensile strengths as key performance requirements. The predicted models demonstrated perfect correlation between inputs and outputs. Multi-objective optimization showed that the properties of hardened UHPC improved with increased content of ultra-fine fly ash and steel fibres. The study also found that the incorporation of ultra-fine fly ash and metakaolin significantly reduced the cost and carbon emissions of UHPC.

Maximization of bioethanol productivity from wheat straw, performance and emission analysis of diesel engine running with a triple fuel blend through response surface methodology

Mostafa M. El-Sheekh et al.

Summary: Bioethanol has been widely used as the most extensively used biofuel due to its significant contribution in reducing pollution and crude oil use. The optimization process for bioethanol production and utilization has been conducted using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) to study the parameters and their combined impact on bioethanol% and residual sugar. A quadratic regression model was developed to predict bioethanol% and residual sugar, obtaining R2 values of 0.9984 and 0.9883, respectively. The optimized engine operating parameters using the central composite design approach (CCD) showed the highest break thermal efficiency (BTE%) and lowest NOx emissions for a blend of biodiesel and diesel combined with bioethanol.

Unraveling the role of feed temperature and cross-flow velocity on organic fouling in membrane distillation using response surface methodology

Francesco Ricceri et al.

Summary: Understanding the impact of operating conditions on fouling development in membrane distillation is crucial for optimizing the technology. This study investigated the organic fouling development in MD by varying the feed inlet temperature and cross-flow velocity. The results showed that increasing the feed temperature led to thicker fouling layers, while higher cross-flow velocities improved the initial flux but also increased the decline rate. Higher shear stress contributed to a decrease in the final fouling layer thickness. The proposed approach proved to be a valuable tool for assessing the role of operating conditions on fouling and process performance in MD.
