Removal Modeling of Encapsulated L.minor by Alginate Microspheres

Abstract

The aim of the study was to model the efficiency of different sorbents (Lemna minor (L), alginate microspheres (A) and encapsulated L.minor (capsA+L)) on the removal of malachite green dye(MG) by using regression analysis. One other purpose was to specify the effects of encapsulation on the removal process. Linear and cubic estimation models were constructed and it was seen that R2 values of cubic models were higher (0.988-1.0). It was observed that group (A) was less successful on MG removal compared to other groups (L>capsA+L>A). Encapsulation increased the removal capacity of microspheres but still did not attain the efficiency of (L) group that was (70.22-85.69%).
