Adsorption of vanadium(V) on various adsorbents is considered to be an important issue. In this study, the absorption of vanadium(V) from an aqueous solution was investigated using Amberlite IRA-402 resin. The experiments were carried out by varying adsorption parameters, such as pH value, adsorbent dosage, contact time and temperature. The optimum conditions were obtained by employing the robust Taguchi method using the MINITAB software, release 16. Under optimal conditions, more than 97% of vanadium was adsorbed on this resin
