Custom and definitive screening designs for evaluating multiple adsorbents : bisphenol-A adsorption onto villi-structured polyaniline/carboxymethyl cellulose composites

Polyaniline composites consisting of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) have enhanced adsorption properties, but recent studies indicate that the oxidised species - dialdehyde carboxymethyl cellulose (DCMC) - outperforms CMC-based composites. However, these studies fail to study the effect of DCMC's...

Description
Résumé:Polyaniline composites consisting of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) have enhanced adsorption properties, but recent studies indicate that the oxidised species - dialdehyde carboxymethyl cellulose (DCMC) - outperforms CMC-based composites. However, these studies fail to study the effect of DCMC's aldehyde content and compare the composites with CMC-based composites; numerous experiments required to investigate each adsorbent for each factor limit such studies. We explored a way to study whether villi-structured polyaniline (VSPANI), its CMC composite (CMC/PANI), and its DCMC composites with 35% (DCMC(A)/PANI) and 77% (DCMC(B)/PANI) aldehyde content would be great adsorbents for removing bisphenol-A (BPA). We first customised a D-optimal screening design to alleviate the pitfalls of definitive screening design (DSD), hence estimating all the main effects: initial concentration, pH, flow rate, adsorbent amount, sample volume and type of adsorbent. We excluded CMC/PANI and DCMC(A)/PANI composites, both with low adsorption capacities of 56.57 and 57.27 mg/g from further investigation. The DSD followed to estimate all second-order effects through which we projected a response surface method (RSM) to optimise and model the active factors. Increasing the aldehyde content on the composites favoured adsorption, but there lacked evidence to suggest VSPANI and DCMC(B)/PANI differed significantly in performance. The models were numerically and graphically proven adequate, explaining 80% and 99% of the variation when predicting removal efficiency and adsorption capacity. VSPANI showed potential as an adsorbent for BPA removal with 85% removal efficiency and 129 mg/g adsorption capacity. This comprehensive approach, combining both designs, allows for sustainable investigation of multiple adsorbents and factors, minimising experimental waste
