%0 Journal Article %T Decolorization of organic dye solution by ozonation; Optimization with response surface methodology %A Masoud B Kasiri %A Nasser Modirshahla and Hasan Mansouri %J International Journal of Industrial Chemistry %D 2013 %I %R 10.1186/2228-5547-4-3 %X It was found that response surface methodology could effectively predict and optimize the performance of ozonation process for decolorization of solution containing organic dyes, AB1, AY19, and AO7. Also, the optimum values of the process variables to achieve the maximum decolorization efficiency could be calculated and verified experimentally. %K Color removal %K Modeling %K Central composite design %K Ozonation %K Response surface methodology %U http://www.industchem.com/content/4/1/3/abstract
