Abstract

Abstract An artificial neural network (ANN) was used to predict the removal efficiency of Cr(VI), Ni(II), and Cu(II) ions on riverbed sand containing illite/quartz/kaolinite/montmorillonite (IQKM) clay minerals. The effect of operational parameters such as initial metal ion concentration (10–100 mg/L), initial pH (2–10), adsorbent dosage (0.025–0.15 g/L), contact time (15–90 min), agitation speed (100–800 rpm), and temperature (303–323 K) is studied to optimize the conditions for greatest removal of metal ions. Employment of equilibrium isotherm models for the description of adsorption capacities for IQKM explored better efficiency of the Langmuir model for the best representation of experimental data with the highest adsorption capacity of 8.802, 7.5125, 6.608 mg/g for Cr(VI), Ni(II), and Cu(II) ions in the solution. The kinetics of the proposed adsorption processes efficiently followed pseudo-second-order and intraparticle diffusion kinetic models. .
