Sorption of rare-earth erbium from aqueous solution onto sol-gel-derived zirconia

Zirconia powder was synthesized via sol gel method and used for erbium sorption. The adsorption is strongly dependent on pH of the medium where the removal efficiency increases as the pH turns to alkaline range. The process was very fast initially and maximum adsorption was attained within...
