eople’s anxieties also increase because of the increased
awareness of what the toxic substance levels in the
environment and the effects of these toxic substances may be.
Pollutions caused by heavy metals stand in aqueous wastage
of many industries. They are released into the aqueous system
through a variety of sources. Heavy metals show toxic effects
because they cannot biodegrade in nature. The heavy metal such
as copper, because of their toxicity influence, contamination
demonstrates a major problem. Cu
2+
has high prior for removal
from environments amongst heavy metals because of hazardous
effect and considered as one of the most toxic one. When
excessive intake of copper, it can be travelled through the food
chain
via
bioaccumulation, the increase of Cu
2+
in human body
causes some major diseases such as brain, skin, pancreas, and
heart diseases. That is to say, the metal may show toxic effects
even if the metal concentration is low. Experimental studies
were accomplished based on a Box–Behnken Design (BBD)
and examined using response surface methodology. The aim of
present research was to apply BBD for modelling of Cu
2+
from
alcoholic beverages pre-treated clay was conducted in batch
experimental conditions. The independent factors importance
and their interactions were investigated using analysis of
variance. The present study includes the Cu
2+
adsorption through
the process of adsorption from aqueous medium onto clay. Effect
of several factors such as solution pH and stirring time were
studied. Under the optimum conditions (adsorption solution pH
5.0, stirring time 62.5 min, adsorbent dosage 0.15 g, solution
final volume 212.5 mL), pre-concentration factor of the proposed
method was approximately 50. Optimized method was applied to
alcoholic beverage. Clay was characterized by X-ray diffraction;
Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron
microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray analysis.
