What is it about?
The presence of orange G dye in textile industrial effluent creates danger for man and the environment when the effluent is discharged into water bodies or land without adequate treatment. A waste product (kola nut shell) was modified through activation and used to effectively remove orange G dyes from aqueous solution using adsorption process. This paper examines the statistical analysis involved in the adsorption process

Why is it important?
We used Graeco-Latin Square to statistical analysis the adsorption process at 0.05 significant level. Central Composite Design (CCD) of Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the adsorption parameters. The kola nut shell activated carbon was characterized using the Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) to determine the functional groups and the surface morphology of the adsorbent, respectively
Perspectives
This work added a new dimension to the adsorption of orange G dye from industrial effluents. It improved the knowledge for adequate treatment of wastewater before discharging. This will in turn give rise to a better environment for man and his activities to thrive
