Kinetics Of

The isotherms and kinetics of zinc adsorption from aqueous solution onto granular activated carbon (GAC) and natural zeolite were studied using an agitated batch adsorber. The maximum adsorption capacities of GAC and natural zeolite towards zinc(II) from Langmuir adsorption isotherms were determined using experimental adsorption equilibrium data. The homogeneous solid diffusion model (HSD-model) combined with external mass transfer resistance was applied to fit the experimental kinetic data. The kinetics simulation study was performed using a computer program based on the proposed mathematical model and developed using gPROMS. As the two-mass transfer resistance approach was applied, two model parameters were fitted during the simulation study. External mass transfer and solid phase diffusion coefficients were obtained to predict the kinetic curves for varying initial Zn(II) concentration at constant agitation speed and constant adsorbent mass. For any particular Zn(II) - adsorbent system, k f was constant, except for the lowest initial concentration, while D s was found to increase with increasing initial Zn(II) concentration.

Best Fit

The adsorption of basic dyestuffs (Basic Blue 69 and Basic Red 22) onto natural clay has been studied using a series of batch adsorption runs. The pore diffusion model (PDM) has been developed based on external mass transfer and pore diffusion to predict the performance of a batch adsorber. A computer program has been developed to generate theoretical Sherwood number-time curves and these results were adjusted to experimental Sherwood number-time curves by means of a ‘best fit’ approach. The variables of initial dye concentration and natural clay mass have been successfully correlated using a single external mass-transfer coefficient, Ks, and a single effective pore diffusion coefficient, Deff. The Ks values are 3.3 × 10−5 and 2.6 × 10−5 m/s for Basic Blue 69 and Basic Red 22, respectively. The Deff values are 7.3 × 10−10 and 9.6 × 10−10 m2/s for Basic Blue 69 and Basic Red 22, respectively.
