In the present article, the optimization of removal of Cu2+, Ni (2+), and Pb (2+) using sugarcane-based activated carbon was studied. The activated carbon synthesized from low-cost sugarcane bagasse via ZnCl2 activation process was found to possess surprisingly high surface area (> 1500m(2)/g). In adsorption study, the individual and interactive effects of three critical parameters including initial concentration, pH of solution, and activated carbon dosage on removal efficiency of Cu2+, Ni2+, and Pb2+ were assessed by applying the response surface methodology combined with central composite design. The established second-order polynomial regression models provided an excellent interpretation of experimental data with acceptable coefficients of determination (R-2) and analysis of variance demonstrated statistical significance of the model terms. In the examined region, the predicted maximum removal efficiency and adsorption capacity were found in the order: Ni2+ (66.4%, 2.99 mg/g)< Cu2+ (90%, 13.24 mg/g)< Pb2+ (99.9%, 19.3 mg/g), which were also confirmed in the verification experiments.
