2021 October - 5 articles

Cover Story: Data analysis for Chemical Science replaces the conventional work of trial and error. However, laboratory work is essential to provide guidelines for designing and optimizing studies as they use both qualitative and quantitative data. Here, cellulose acetate-based nanocomposite membranes functionalized with alpha-hematite were examined to assess efficiency for reactive black adsorption 5 and, consequently, recyclability, and data analysis was correlated using a response surface methodology. Machine learning confirmed the synergism between the good adsorption of RB5 and its easy separation from nanocomposite membranes, ensuring its potential application in wastewater treatment processes.
