respectively for Cu2+, Ni2+ and Pb2+ removal. The high value of the
adjusted determination coefficient implicates to the significance of
the model parameters.
The low P-value (probability) (<0.0001) with F-value (186.34,
94.68 and 172.96) for Cu2+, Ni2+ and Pb2+ respectively, implied
that the model was accurate. Generally, highly significant regres-
sion model is justified by higher Fischer’s ‘F statistics’ values with
P-value as low as possible [23]. The term of lack-of-fit is actually
non-significant as it is essential. The quadratic model was valid for
our work, due to the non-significant value of lack of fit (more than
0.05). The linear effects of all the variables were significant and A (ini-
tial heavy metal concentration) and C (adsorbent dosage) were also
appreciable as F has high values and played important role on the
removal efficiency. As shown in Table 2, the prediction error sum of
squares (PRESS) provides a good residual scaling. Usually, a signifi-
cant difference between the PRESS residual and the ordinary residual
(170.71, 184.56 and 140.98) demonstrates a point where the model
fits the data well.

.2.1. Three-dimensional response surface plots
To gain the better comprehensive of Cu2+, Ni2+ and Pb2+ ions ad-
orption process, the three dimensional response surface plots were
nalyzed. In each plot, the influence of two factors on heavy metal
ons adsorption capacity was shown. The response surface plots are
emonstrated in Figs. 2 and 3. Initial heavy metal ions concentration
nd adsorbent dosage are the most important parameters that can im-
ress on the adsorption efficiency. Fig. 2(a–c) shows the simultaneous
ffect of removal time and initial ion concentration on heavy metal
ons adsorption efficiency. Also, for Cu2+ and Ni2+, in constant removal
ime, adsorption efficiency decreased with heavy metal ions concen-
ration enhancement. While for Pb2+ it can be seen an improvement
n removal efficiency until about 500 ppm and then a significant de-
reasing was occurred. This is due to lack of available active sites on
he adsorbent surface [24]. However, there are not enough spaces for
ll the ions in high concentration of metal ions [25].
Metal ions and adsorbent dosage is shown in Fig. 2(d–f). In
his figure, the removal efficiency improved with increasing the
orption of heavy metals by Fe3O4/montmorillonite nanocomposite
