Abstract The potential hazards of humic acid (HA) associated with hog waste effluent, coupled with increasing awareness of environmental problems, have prompted many countries to control disposal of effluents into water bodies and to maximize removal of HA. Here we employed the white-rot fungus, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, to degrade the HA in composted hog waste effluent, evaluated by the response surface method. Preliminary experiments demonstrate that pH, temperature and quantity of inoculum are significant variables determining success of the fungus. In total, 13 experiments were conducted with three variables designated as A (pH), B (temperature) and C (inoculum amount). The optimal conditions for reduction of HA by P. chrysosporium are pH 6, 31.5°C and an inoculum quantity of 5.86 g. Predicted and experimental results exhibit strong agreement, indicating efficiency in the model obtained by response surface method. Therefore, P. chrysosporium is an effective micro-organism for removal of HA from composted hog waste effluent.

Optimization of Vanillin Extraction Conditions from Lignocellulose Degradation of Sugarcane Bagasse using the Response Surface Method (RSM) Sugarcane bagasse is an agricultural waste containing lignocellulose and has the potential to be processed into high-value chemicals such as vanillin. The degradation of sugarcane bagasse lignocellulose can be carried out biologically by the white rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium. This study aims to obtain optimal extraction conditions in the form of ethyl acetate solvent volume and extraction time, using the response surface method (RSM). Two optimized factors were the volume of ethyl acetate (71.72; 80; 100; 120; and 128.28 mL) and the extraction time (35.16; 60; 120; 180; 204.84 minutes). The response variables were the concentration (%) and yield of vanillin (µg g–1). The research on the optimization of the response of vanillin levels and vanillin yield was carried out at 14 days incubation with the highest average total soluble phenol (TSP) value of 0.101 mg g–1. The optimal condition of ethyl acetate volume of 109.730 mL with an extraction time of 137.302 minutes was predicted to produce vanillin levels and yields of 0.0078% and 8.9089 g g–1, respectively, with an accuracy value of 93.4%. Based on the verification results, the optimal vanillin concentration and yield were 0.0077% and 8.9805 g g–1, respectively.

The production of high-quality freeze-dried raspberry was studied by response surface method. Two independent variables, temperature (X1) and time (X2) were determined as the most important factors affecting the final product quality estimated by the responses: total phenol (Y1), total anthocyanin (Y2), vitamin C (Y3) and total bioactive compounds (Y4) content. A two-factor central composite design was used for freeze-drying experiments. The second order polynomial models obtained were found to be significant (p<0.05) for all responses. The statistical analysis of experimental data indicated that only quadratic time variable (X22) had significant (p<0.05) effect on all responses. The optimal conditions for all responses combined were found to be: -31 ?C and 35 h. The experimental values of all responses obtained under optimal conditions were in good agreement with predicted values which enables the use of the proposed mathematical models for optimization of investigated process.

Tube end closing is a metal forming process that replaces welding processes while closing tubes ends. It depends on deforming a rotating tube using a roller, and therefore, it is also called tube end spinning. The process involves many parameters like contact depth, roller inclination angle, roller diameter, mandrel curvature, and tube rotational speed. This study develops a finite element model (FE-model) for this process and validates it through experimental results. The numerical and experimental results have shown minor deviation of 1.87%. The FE-model is then employed to carry out a statistical analysis based on the response surface method (RSM). The analysis of variance (ANOVA) and regression analysis have proved the accuracy of the obtained mathematical model. The contact depth has proved to have the most significant effect in the process responses, while the roller diameter has the least effect. Finally, an optimization analysis is carried out to select the finest conditions for the process.

In order to obtain the optimal collocation of two important technological parameters in the spinning process, the multi-response surface method was used to optimise the experimental results. Through the orthogonal design of the two factors and four levels of factor encoding, 16 groups of orthogonal experiments were designed; the experimental results were fit using the curve fitting toolbox of Matlab; a regression equation of yarn quality indicators, and in addition to a three-dimensional surface chart, an optimal scheme of the roving twist factor and spinning drafting for a roving twist factor of 110 were established; a spinning back draft of 1.5 was obtained based on experimental results of the response surface analysis and variance regression analysis. Experiments on the optimal scheme were carried out to verify the practicability of the results obtained by this method. The results show that application of the multiple response surface method to the optimisation of process parameters is of practical significance. This method can be applied for the optimisation of other process parameters.

Abstract In recent years, among the various treatment methods, the electrocoagulation process has been used for the treatment of effluents containing various dye pollutants. Sunset yellow (S.Y.) azo dye is one of the common food colors widely used in various food industries. This study investigated the removal of the dye S.Y. from aqueous media by the electrocoagulation method in an electrochemical reactor using concentric iron electrodes. The experiments were designed by the Response Surface Method (RSM) with the help of the Minitab software in such a way that the effect of various process-influencing parameters, such as current density, electrolysis time, electrolyte concentration, pH of the solution, and the effluent flow rate, on the desired pollutant removal efficiency was investigated. According to the results of the process optimization by RSM, the optimal conditions for the process were obtained as follows: pH of 10, current density of 2.65 mA/cm2, electrolysis time of 42.32 min, initial dye concentration of 20 mg/L, and effluent flow rate of 2.5 L/min. Under the above optimal conditions, the efficiency of dye removal was more than 99%.

The diffuser plays a significant role in the performance of a centrifugal pump, especially for a high-power centrifugal pump. Therefore, to improve the efficiency of a centrifugal pump, optimization of a vaned diffuser is proposed in this work. The steady simulations were carried out by solving the three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations with a shear stress transport turbulence model. The numerical head and efficiency were validated by the experimental results of the original pump, and the results show that the predicted performance of the numerical simulation is in good agreement with the experimental results. Four design variables of the diffuser including the diffuser inlet diameter D3, diffuser inlet width b3, diffuser inlet angle α3, and diffuser wrap angle ϕ2 were selected to design by the CFturbo 9.0. The diffusers under test were selected using the orthogonal experiment method using the orthogonal array L16(44). The effect of the four variables on the pump’s efficiency was investigated by the predicted efficiency of 16 diffusers. A quadratic polynomial fitting function for the variables and efficiency was constructed using the response surface method. The optimal values were obtained by solving the response function with the multi-island genetic algorithm. Through the analysis of the range and quadratic regression, it was found that the diffuser wrap angle has the most significant influence on efficiency. The efficiency of the optimal pump increased by 8.65% compared with the original scheme. The velocity distributions in the diffuser inlet and volute were improved and became more uniform. The total pressure in the diffuser and volute of the optimal pump was higher than that of the original pump.
