Statistical Modeling and Optimization in Separation and Purification

This book deals with the using of Response surface methodology and central composite rotatable statistical design as promising methods to study the interaction effect between the operating parameters during the separation and purification of either the water contaminants or mineral impurities as well as the optimum conditions for the treatment processes. The first chapter focuses on the basics of Response Surface Methodology and the applicability of such statistical designs in separation and purification studies.
