Abstract

The experimental adsorption of Anthracene (ANT), a model polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs) was optimized using central composite design (CCD) of response surface methodology (RSM). MIL-88(Fe) and NH2-MIL-88(Fe) Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were employed as the potential adsorbents. The model was described as the significant according to the analysis of variance (ANOVA) for the statistical fittings of R2 (0.991 and 0.992), and adequate precision (43.55 and 47.82) with the lack of fit F-values (2.15 and 1.59) for the MIL-88(Fe) and NH2-MIL-88(Fe) respectively. The highest adsorption efficiency achieved were 99.55 and 95.67% for the MIL-88(Fe) and NH2-MIL-88(Fe) respectively based on the RSM optimized conditions. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model has been described as the best mechanism for the adsorption process.
