Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed for the process optimizations according to the central composite design (CCD) with 5 inputs variables. The adsorption efficiency achieved were 99.7 and 60.7 for the UiO-66 and ZIF-8, respectively according to the RSM optimization conditions. The model was significantly described according to statistical analysis of variance (ANOVA). The adsorption process was well fitted by pseudo-second order kinetic model with R2 values of 0.9947 and 0.97780 for the UiO-66 and ZIF-8, respectively. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. %J Springer Proceedings in Complexity %L scholars15551 %O cited By 1; Conference of 6th International Conference on Fundamental and Applied Sciences, ICFAS 2020 ; Conference Date: 13 July 2021 Through 15 July 2021; Conference Code:270909 %R 10.1007/978-981-16-4513-6₂₁ %D 2021
