Abstract
The marine oil and gas transmission pipelines should be washed by phosphoric acid solution before they were used. The washing wastewater, containing high level of phosphorus, was treated by calcium chloride. The response surface method (RSM) based on Box-Behnken was adopted to consider the impact of n (Ca):n (P), pH and reaction temperature on total phosphorus (TP) removal rate. In this work, the Design-Expert 8.0.6 was employed to design and analyze the results. Then, a quadratic polynomial model was built with TP removal rate as the response value. It was shown that the n (Ca):n (P) and pH have a significant effect on TP removal rate. The interaction of pH and temperature is significant. The optimum conditions were X1=3.40, X2=10.97, X3=38.12. In this condition, the predicted value of TP removal rate is 99.9242% while the average removal rate of verification is 99.9365%, which was shown that the predicted value was identical with experiment value.
