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...

Among the three materials, NZVI/SiO2 presented the highest Cr(VI) removal, especially at pH 7 and 10 with 98 and 94.41%, within 60 min.
