TI  - Application of response surface methodology (RSM) for optimisation of COD, NH3-N

AB  - In this study, the potential of a pilot-scale granular activated carbon 
      sequencing batch biofilm reactor (GAC-SBBR) for removing chemical oxygen demand 
      (COD), ammoniacal nitrogen (NH3-N) and 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) from recycled 
      paper wastewater was assessed. For this purpose, the response surface methodology 
      (RSM) was employed, using a central composite face-centred design (CCFD), to 
      optimise three of the most important operating variables, i.e., hydraulic 
      retention time (HRT), aeration rate (AR) and influent feed concentration (IFC), 
      in the pilot-scale GAC-SBBR process for recycled paper wastewater treatment. 
      Quadratic models were developed for the response variables, i.e., COD, NH3-N and 
      2,4-DCP removal, based on the high value (>0.9) of the coefficient of 
      determination (R(2)) obtained from the analysis of variance (ANOVA). The optimal 
      conditions were established at 750 mg COD/L IFC, 3.2 m(3)/min AR and 1 day HRT, 
      corresponding to predicted COD, NH3-N and 2,4-DCP removal percentages of 94.8, 
      100 and 80.9%, respectively.
