The present paper was aimed to establish mathematical models useful to reduce the time required to discover the appropriate adsorption conditions of Congo Red (an intensively used organic dye) on an activated carbon prepared from cherry stones through calcination. To this purpose, various values of three parameters known as influencing the process, namely dye initial concentration (200 mg/L to 1000 mg/L), pH (2 to 12) and contact time (10 to 180 minutes) between the adsorbent and the adsorbate

The recorded results of the adsorption process were used as data for Response Surface Methodology and Artificial Neural Network and several mathematical equations were generated. The conducted statistical analyses revealed that these equations can accurately express the Congo Red elimination from aqueous solutions. Moreover, the developed procedure is able to predict the process evolution in different conditions than those experimentally tested.
