Abstract

Methylene blue (MB) as a basic dye usually found in coloring usage industries can cause several injuries to human health and body. The current trend of treating MB is by using several wastewater treating techniques and adsorption technology. However, adsorption technology was considered to be efficient in removing MB. The adsorption technology production considering many factors that can influence the efficiency of the adsorbent performance. Identification of significant factors that has substantial contributions to the response for methylene blue (MB) removal in aqueous solution had been investigated using the fractional factorial design. This identification is crucial in minimizing the experimental runs for preparing the glycerin pitch-alginate adsorbent. Five factors involved were glycerin pitch concentration, impregnation time, impregnation temperature, glutaraldehyde volume, and cross-linking time were screened using fractional factorial designs. Based on the results, three factors have contributing effects which were glycerin pitch (0.3%), impregnation time (24 hours) and impregnation temperature (37oC) on the removal of MB (89.13%), where the results analyzed statistically using mathematical analysis of fractional factorial designs and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results obtained indicate that fractional factorial design was a reliable method in screening the preparation method by eliminating the noise in range and factors to produce the adsorbent with the minimal experiment run and steps.
