“…[10][11][12] Owing to this fact, many variables, such as the pH, initial concentration of dye (Cd), amount of sorbent (m), shaking speed, contact time and temperature may influence the removal efficiency of the biosorption process. 1,13 In this study, according to previous experiences, 14,15 the influence of the main variables, such as the concentration of dye, amount of sorbent and pH of the solution on the MB biosorption process by Platanus tree leaves has been screened by using a full factorial design. 1,16 The response surface methodology (RSM) through performing a Doehlert matrix design has led to finding an empirical model.…”
