Abstract
Boron removal onto different polymeric ion exchangers was investigated by using response surface methodology (RSM). Box-Behnken experimental design combined with RSM was used to examine and optimize the effects of major process parameters. The quadratic statistical model was defined by three independent variables (pH, temperature, initial boron concentration). The significance of the effects was checked by analysis of variance (statistical software, Statistica 8.0). The optimum values of the selected variables were found by solving the quadratic regression model and analyzing the response surface plots. Nonlinear adsorption isotherm models (Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Raduskevich, Toth, Sips, Redlich-Peterson) have been performed at optimum conditions.
