Table 2.

p-values for response surface regression models as well as linear and square effects of parameters A, B, and C along with their two-way interactions included in these models to describe changes in σ1h and σ24h (in mS cm−1) of PALs produced by using the continuous-flow FLC-dc-APGD reaction-discharge system. Statistically significant terms included in the developed regression models are given in brackets.

σ1h—Electrical conductivity measured after 1 h. σ24h—Electrical conductivity measured after 24 h. A: The flow rate of the FLC solution (NH4NO3) (in mL min−1). B: The discharge current of the FLC-dc-APGD system (in mA). C: The NH4NO3 concentration in the FLC solution (in %). R2: Coefficient of determination. S: Residual standard deviation. a A backward-elimination-of-terms algorithm at α = 0.05 was applied to determine statistically significant terms in response to surface regression models.
