Abstract:

Mesoporous nanostructured γ-Al2O3 powders were synthesized through multi- step precipitation procedures using the pH-swing technique. Structural and morphological characteristics in addition to the thermal behavior of the procured samples were characterized via X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetry-derivative thermal gravimetric       (TG-DTG) and N2 adsorption–desorption isotherm. Plackett-Burman design was implemented as a screening method to examine the impacts of fifteen variables on physical properties of synthesized γ-Al2O3 as a response variable. Specific surface area, pore volume and average pore diameter of the prepared samples were found to be within the ranges of 72-335.7 m2/g, 0.26-1.03 cm2/g and 4.6-15.2 nm, respectively. It was determined that the variables including pH value on the acidic region, time in the alkaline region and number of pH-swing frequencies had major effects on the pore diameter of the procured γ-Al2O3 powders. Calcination by steaming had the most significant effect on specific surface area, while the pH value on the acidic region had the greatest impact on pore volume.

Determination of Influential Factors on EDMed Surface Properties Using Plackett-Burman Design

In many investigations, large number of process, or design parameters that are initially thought to affect the outcomes or outputs may not really have statistical significant influence on them. Screening experiments are used to identify the key parameters (factors) that significantly affect these outcomes. In this investigation, Plackett-Burman screening design was used to identify the factors ...

Application of Plackett-Burman Experimental Design for Lipase Production by Aspergillus niger Using Shea Butter Cake

Plackett-Burman design was used to efficiently select important medium components affecting the lipase production by Aspergillus niger using shea butter cake as the main substrate. Out of the eleven medium components screened, six comprising of sucrose, (NH4)2SO4, Na2HPO4, MgSO4, Tween-80, and olive oil were found to contribute positively to the overall lipase production with a maximum producti...
