Optimization of Reactive Blue 21 removal by Nanoscale Zero-Valent Iron using response surface methodology

Since Reactive Blue 21 (RB21) is one of the dye compounds which is harmful to human life, a simple and sensitive method to remove this pollutant from wastewater is using Nano Zero-Valent Iron (NZVI) catalyst. In this paper, a Central Composite Rotatable Design (CCRD) was employed for response surfac...
