Sorption studies of europium on cerium phosphate using Box-Behnken design

Amorphous cerium phosphate was prepared and characterized. Three-level Box-Behnken design (BBD) was employed to analyze the effect of process variables such as initial pH (2-6), contact time (60-180 min), and sorbent amount (0.05-0.15 g) on the sorption capacity of europium. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that the main effect of initial pH and sorbent amount has a substantial impact on the sorption of Eu(III). Probability F-value (F = 3 x 10(-3)) and correlation coefficient (R-2 = 0.97) point out that the model is in good accordance with experimental data. The maximum sorption capacity of Eu(III) was found to be 42.14 mg g(-1) at initial pH 6, contact time of 180 min, and a sorbent amount of 0.05 g. Sorption isotherm data was well explained by the Langmuir model and monolayer Eu(III) sorption capacity was obtained as 30.40 mg g(-1). Kinetic data were well described by the pseudo-second-order model. Thermodynamic data suggested that the process is endothermic and spontaneous.
