Abstract
The main purpose of this study is to investigate the individual effect as well as the interactions of different influencing factors like catalyst dosage, aeration rate, temperature and pH on the removal of methylene blue (MB) using biomass charcoal loaded multiple rare earth composite material. Design-Expert 7.0 was used to design testing program and establish response surface model. The result showed that among the factors, catalyst dosage played the most important role, then pH value, aeration rate and temperature in turn. By the optimization of process parameters, the optimum experimental conditions were catalyst dosage of 2.50 g, aeration rate of 2.5 L·min-1, temperature of 21 °C and pH value of 12, under these optimum conditions, maximum predicted and observed decolorization rate were 100.00% and 99.61%, the observed value was well match with the predicted value.
