The appropriate calcination temperature, and time were determined to maximize the removal efficiency, ~90 percent, in the acidic environments, pH 2-3. On the other hand, the current contribution addressed the estimation of failure probability which is a challenge for the reliable design of packed beds. Therefore, the normal, and Weibull distributions were used to evaluate the reliability of rods through Akaike information criterion (AIC), and Anderson-Darling test (ADT). The results revealed that the Weibull distribution possesses the higher accuracy in the analysis of compression strength scatter. The calcination of rods at 850 ◦C within 90 min not only led to fabricate a reliable packed bed with a mean strength about 860 kPa but also brought the better mesoporous structure, 8 nm, which is the main reason for the development of active sites. The thermal stability of rods provided an industrial potential for the regeneration of packed bed at 500 ◦C, without efficiently losing the adsorptive performance, even after reuse for ten times UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Q7yen1vZVqzBlIMw8goegKrJrCpm_99y/view?usp=drive_link ER -
