Eco-friendly nanoparticles: mechanisms and capacities for efficient removal of heavy metals and phosphate from water using definitive screening design approach.

Can nano-zero-valent iron, synthesized using oak leaf extract, be the key solution for water preservation, efficiently removing heavy metal ions and phosphate anions simultaneously? This research unveils how this technology not only promises high efficiency in the remediation of water resources, but also sets new standards for environmentally friendly processes. The high antioxidant capacity and high phenol content indicate suggest the possibility of oak-nZVI synthesis using oak leaf extract as a stable material with minimal agglomeration. The simultaneous removal of Cd and phosphates, as well as and Ni and phosphates was optimized by a statistically designed experiment with a definitive screening design approach.

Optimization of Tensile Strength in the Paper Material Cutting Process Based on CO Laser Process Parameters.

This paper examines the impact of the CO laser parameters on the tensile strength, which is one of the most important properties of paper packaging in the process of cutting paper material. The study was performed on a paper material sample Fbb Board/Ningbo Spark C1S Ivory Board by examination of the influence of four independent variables: paper material grammage, cutting speed, laser power, and resolution on the tensile strength by using definitive screening design. Optimum process conditions of four variables that maximize the tensile strength were predicted and validated accordingly.

Synergistic effect of Fenton oxidation and adsorption process in treatment of azo printing dye: DSD optimization and reaction mechanism interpretation.

The main challenges to overcome within the Fenton process are the acidic pH as an optimal reaction condition, sludge formation in neutral pH medium and high toxicity of treated printing wastewater due to the generation of contaminating by-products. This research discusses the catalytic activity of homogeneous (FeSO/HO) and heterogeneous (Fe(MoO)/HO) Fenton processes in treatment of Yellow azo printing dye in synthetic aqueous solution and real printing effluent, with an integration of adsorption on functionalized biochar synthesized from wild plum kernels. The definitive screening design (DSD), was used to design the experiment.
