Boron (B) is essential for the development and functioning of organisms, involving their growth, health, and development of plants, animals, and humans. Nevertheless, the increasing use of boron in various applications has led to environmental problems and health issues. Several separation technologies have been employed to remove boron, and adsorption is one such technology that utilizes adsorbents to address solutions containing extremely low levels of boron. This finding investigates the residual boron from a synthesized solution through adsorption, using CRB05 as the adsorbent. The impact of adsorbent dosage, contact time, boron concentration, and pH on residual boron was examined. The findings indicate that the pH plays a substantial role impact on the residual boron efficiency from all adsorbents. The highest residual of boron was achieved at pH 4.5, adsorbent dosage 1125 mg/L, time 255 minutes, and concentration 1150 mg/L with 98% removal. Adsorption of boron using CRB05 proved to be an effective method for recovering boron from the synthesis solution. The findings of this study enhance our comprehension of the adsorption behavior of CRB05 and provide insights into the optimal operating conditions for efficient boron removal.
