Synthesis of silica-supported nanoiron for Cr(VI) removal: application of Box-Behnken Statistical Design (BBD)
This study aimed to optimize the condition of silica-supported nanoscale zero valent iron (NZVI/SiO2) synthesis by colloidal impregnation method. Box-Behnken design (BBD) was used as a tool to create and analyze the 17 synthesized conditions of NZVI/SiO2 samples. The independent variables included e...

This study aimed to optimize the condition of silica-supported nanoscale zero valent iron (NZVI/SiO2) synthesis by colloidal impregnation method. Box-Behnken design (BBD) was used as a tool to create and analyze the 17 synthesized conditions of NZVI/SiO2 samples. The independent variables included ethanol concentration (0-100 vol%), amount of silica (0.025-0.125 g) and agitation speed (100-400 rpm). In addition, analysis of variance (ANOVA) for a response surface quadratic model was used to approximate statistical relationship of independent variables. The reducing performance of the synthesized NZVI/SiO2 was examined through removal of Cr(VI) contaminated in water.
