Abstract
The continuous exposure of the environment to carcinogenic wastes and toxic chlorophenols such as pentachlorophenol (PCP) and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) resulting from industrial production activities is become a great concern. The search for cost efficient and ecofriendly approach to phytoremediation of water will guarantee sustainability. The present research work is concerned with cost benefit evaluation, and the optimization modeling of the competitive biosorption of PCP and TCP from aqueous solution to Cana indica. L (CiL-plant) using response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN) model. The predictive performances of the ANN model and the RSM were compared based on their statistical metrics. The antagonistic and synergetic effect of significant biosorption variables (pH, initial concentration, and exposure time) on the biosorption process were studied at p-values ≤0.005. The optimized output transcends to PCP and TCP removal rates of 90% and 87.99% efficiencies at predicted r-squared ≤0.9999, at 95% confidence interval. The cost benefit evaluation established that at the optimum conditions, the cost of operating the removal of TCP from aqueous solution will save $ 7.72 compared to PCP. The reliability of the optimization model based on design of experiment was proven to be more sustainable compared to the one-factor-at-a-time methodologies.
