Response surface methodology three factor

For the PS case, a three-variable Box-Behnken response surface methodology (RSM) design using formulation variables has been carried out. For the RF system, an eight-variable fractional-factorial screening study was done first to select significant factors, and this was followed by two RSM s which were similar in design to the one done for PS. The results have led directly to substantial improvements in both materials.

Optimization of medium composition with response surface methodology Based on the previous Plackett-Burman screening test and the path of steepest ascent experiment design, response surface methodology was applied to determine the optimal conditions of these three significant factors, including initial inulin content, peptone, and liquid medium volume. 

To know the influence of the three factors on the two responses at the first time, and then to determine the optimal experimental conditions in the domain of inter est, the surface response methodological approach is used. For this, the design realized is a Doehlen design (Table 32), where the change in the number of levels is minimized (each factor has only three levels of variation). The plan of experimentation is given in Table 33. 

Determination of solubility by headspace analysis offers several advantages over spectrophotometric techniques. First, because of the selectivity of chromatographic analysis, compound purity is not a critical factor second, absolute calibration of the gas chromatographic detector is not necessary if the response is linearly related with concentration over the range necessary for the measurements and finally, this method does not require the preparation of saturated solutions, since a partition coefficient, not a solubility, is actually measured. However, headspace methodology would probably not be applicable for determining PAH solubilities for three reasons. First, there is little data in the literature on the vapor pressures of PAHs. Second, the aqueous solubilities of most PAHs are too low to be measured by this procedure. Finally, adsorptive losses of PAHs to glass surfaces from the vapor phase would cause errors.
