Environmental pollution which is a result of rapid
technological development is a serious apprehension for
ecosystem. Heavy metals are harmful for all living creatures
and considered as the most toxic environment pollutants due
to toxic effects on human health in concentrations above the
permissible limits, cause widespread concerns. Among the
contaminants present in environment, heavy metals receive
considerable attention from scientists and engineers because
they can indefinitely persist in nature and accumulate through
the food chain causing a serious risk. Lead is deposited mostly
in bones along with liver and kidney. The presence of high
levels of lead may cause long-term health risks to humans
and ecosystems because of bioaccumulation characteristics.
A three-level four-factor Box–Behnken experimental design
(BBD) combining with response surface modelling (RSM) was
performed to optimize lead removal from alcoholic beverage on
natural clay in the present case. The BBD method was selected
as the statistical prediction method with the aim of reducing
the number of experimental runs which will directly save time
and chemicals and thereby reducing the overall cost. Various
independent process variables including solution pH (X1: 3.0–
7.0), contact time (X2: 2–60 min), adsorbent dosage (X3: 0.01-
0.1 g) and agitation speed (X4: 50–150 rpm) were chosen for
optimization. The optimal conditions for the lead removal were
found to be 5, 31 min, 0.075 g, and 100 rpm, for the solution
pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage and the agitation speed,
respectively. Under these conditions, maximum lead removal
efficiency was obtained to 120 mg g-1. The significance of
independent variables and their interactions were tested
by means of the analysis of variance (ANOVA) with 95%
confidence limits and based on the ANOVA statistical value,
the adsorption of lead onto clay has been found to be highly
significant, with very low probability (p) values (<0.001).
