The main objective of the present study was to evaluate the capacity of the sanky-peel derivative as an adsorbent to be used for the removal of phosphates in aqueous solutions. The study was carried out in two stages: first, three treatments of adsorbent material were elaborated (S01, S02 and S03) and they were evaluated regarding the variables yield (%), phosphate removal (%), adsorption capacity (mg . g -1 ), cost (soles/kg) and textural characteristics with the technique of nitrogen adsorption-desorption. In the second stage, batch adsorption studies were carried out in aqueous solutions containing phosphate and calcium ions, with the adsorbent selected in the first stage to optimize the operation variables: initial concentration of phosphate (1 mg . L -1 ; 2 mg . L -1 ; 5 mg . L -1 and 10 mg . L -1 ) and pH (4.0; 6.5 and 9.0). Adsorption kinetics and equilibrium isotherms were studied using the pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, Elovich, Weber and Morris kinetic models and the isothermal models of Freundlich, Langmuir and DubininRadushkevich. The experimental results indicated that the adsorbent had the highest phosphate adsorption capacity at pH 6.5; initial phosphate concentration 10.0 mg . L -1 at a dose of 50 mg of adsorbent per 25 mL of solution and 168 h of contact time. Adsorption kinetics followed the pseudo-second order Elovich model (R2>0.9), and the Weber and Morris model revealed that adsorption rates were not controlled by the diffusion step alone. The equilibrium data of the sanky-peel-derived adsorbent best fit the DubininRadushkevich model at pH 6.5 and 9.0 (R2>0.9). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed the presence of bands related to brushite (CaHPO3) spectra, after phosphate adsorption.
