A surface molecular imprinting technology was developed to adsorb Ce(III) ions that showed much higher adsorption affinity and selectivity for than for other metal ions. The batch adsorption process was studied with respect to effects of pH value, residence time, temperature, and initial concentration of Ce(III) ion. The maximum adsorption capacity is 43 mg g(-1) at an initial Ce(III) concentration of 300 mg L-1 and at a sorbent dosage of 1.0 g L-1. A Langmuir isotherm fits the experimental data. The imprinted sorbent exhibits a much higher separation and selectivity for the target imprinted ion than the non-imprinted polymer. Cerium ion can be desorbed with 1M hydrochloric acid solution which is also proven by scanning electron microoscopy and X-ray diffraction experiments. The limit of detection is 37 ng mL(-1). The sorbent has been applied to the determination of trace cerium in different environmental samples with satisfactory results.
