Adsorption processes are widely used in different technological areas and industry sectors, thus continuously attracting attention in the scientific research and publications. Design and scale-up of these processes are essentially based on the knowledge and understanding of the adsorption kinetics and mechanism. Adsorption kinetics is usually modeled by using several well-known models including the pseudo-first and pseudo-second order models, the Elovich equation, and the intra-particle diffusion based models. However, in the scientific literature there are a significant number of cases with the inappropriate use of these models, utilization of erroneous expressions, and incorrect interpretation of the obtained results. This paper is especially focused on applications of the pseudo-second order, intra-particle diffusion and the Weber-Morris models, which are illustrated with typical examples. Finally, general recommendations for selection of the appropriate kinetic model and model assumptions, data regression analysis, and evaluation and presentation of the obtained results are outlined.

The study covers scandium adsorption in batch conditions by VSK, DAS and PFT activated carbon grades (Russia) of different origin (сoconut shell, аnthracite, thermoset waste, respectively) from sulfuric acid-chloride solutions (pH = 2) simulating the composition of the underground leaching solutions of polymetallic ores. It was found that scandium adsorption by DAS and VSK carbons proceeds with the highest distribution coefficients (133 and 45.8 cm3/g, respectively). Isotherms of scandium adsorption with these carbons are linear and described by the Henry equation with constants 133 ± 21 and 46 ± 7 cm3/g, respectively. A limited solution volume method was used to obtain the integral kinetic curves of scandium adsorption. Their linearization according to the kinetic models of the pseudo-first, pseudo-second order, the Elovich model and the Weber–Morris intra-particle diffusion model indicates that the kinetics of scandium adsorption with VSK carbon having a higher correlation coefficient (0.999) is described using the pseudo-second order model. Description of the kinetic data obtained during the adsorption of scandium with DAS carbon showed that for all the models used the correlation coefficient is low (<0.939), while the highest value is observed when using the intra-particle diffusion model. It was suggested that the scandium adsorption process occurs in the mixed diffusion region. The possibility of scandium elution from VSK and DAS carbons with sodium carbonate solution (10 %) was studied in batch conditions, where the degree of scandium desorption in two stages of elution was 84.0 and 90.4 %, respectively.

Oxidized alkaline loofah sponge (OAL) was given by treating alkaline loofah sponge (AL) with H2O2, four classic adsorption kinetics models which were Lagergren’s pseudo-first-order, Pseudo-second-order equation, the Elovich equation and Intraparticle diffusion were applied to study how the different oxidation degrees of loofah sponge impacted on the values of fitting goodness of the above models and to determine which kind of model was the best fit of the adsorption process and adsorption mechanism. The results showed that Pseudo-second-order equation’s fitting degree was proposed to be best and adsorption mechanism was chemical adsorption by ionic bonding, at the same time, as hydrogen bonds increased, water molecules formed a barrier to impede MB diffusing into the micro-structure.

The objective of this work is to study the phosphate adsorption from natural waters by using a granular activated carbon (GAC). Experiments were carried out with synthetic solutions of phosphate prepared using groundwater (mineralized drinking water). Batch tests were carried out in order to study different operating parameters such as the effect of contact time, pH, initial phosphate concentration and adsorbent dosage. In addition, the adsorption kinetic data were simulated using the pseudo first order, the pseudo second-order and the intra-particle diffusion model. The sorption equilibrium was analyzed by Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherms model. Results show that the phosphate adsorption was reversible and the quantity adsorbed reached its maximum value (2.82 mg/g) after 30 min. It was also found that phosphate uptake was affected by variation of pH, initial concentration of phosphate and granular activated carbon dosage. The adsorption improved with increase in pH values, initial concentration and adsorbent dosage. The results of kinetic studies revealed that pseudo-second-order model adequately described the adsorption phosphate on GAC and the intra-particle diffusion involved in the adsorption mechanism. Also, isotherm study showed that Langmuir isotherm best fit the data and the adsorption was a physical type.

This research presented the kinetic performance of arsenic absorption by mesostructure SBA-15 functionalized with Al2O3. The SBA-15 was previously synthesised and subsequently functionalized via impregnation of alumina oxides. The absorption of arsenic(V) was studied as a function of absorbent dosage and contact time. The experimental data were fitted to kinetic pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order and the intra-particle diffusion model. The pseudo-second order model presented the best correlation with the experimental data. Both surface absorption and intra-particle diffusion were acting during arsenic uptake, except for absorbent dosage of 0.1g, which was mainly controlled by the intra-particle diffusion.

AbstractIn this study, Al2O3/Pd(NO3)2/zeolite composite films have been fabricated by roll coating method and characterized by X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy. The gas adsorption was tested in an experimental setup by a continuous gas analyzer KIMO KIGAZ 210 at constant temperature and pressure (32 °C and 1.5 bar) and as a function of reaction time (s). The inlet CO gas concentration was 150 mg L−1, and the saturation level of CO gas concentration was 5 mg L−1. The maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) and maximum adsorption efficiency (%) were calculated as 111.16 mg g−1 and 97%, respectively. Pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intra-particle diffusion models were investigated to kinetic study of CO adsorption on Al2O3/Pd(NO3)2/zeolite adsorbents. Results indicated that CO adsorption follows the pseudo-second-order model well according to regression coefficient value (R2 = 0.98), and the value of pseudo-second-order rate constant of adsorption was obtained as 2 × 10−5 g mg−1 s−1. According to the intra-particle diffusion model, adsorption is affected by only one process. So, adsorption of CO by Al2O3/Pd(NO3)2/zeolite adsorbent indicated an effective adsorption by obtained results.

The sorption of lead, cadmium and zinc ions from aqueous solution by Lagenaria vulgaris shell biosorbent (LVB) in batch system was investigated. The effect of relevant parameters such as contact time, biosorbent dosage and initial metal ions concentration was evaluated. The Pb(II), Cd(II) and Zn(II) sorption equilibrium (when 98% of initial metal ions were sorbed) was attained within 15, 20 and 25 min, respectively. The pseudo first, pseudo-second order, Chrastil?s and intra-particle diffusion models were used to describe the kinetic data. The experimental data fitted the pseudo-second order kinetic model and intra-particle diffusion model. Removal efficiency of lead(II), cadmium(II) and zinc(II) ions rapidly increased with increasing biosorbent dose from 0.5 to 8.0 g dm-3. Optimal biosorbent dose was set to 4.0 g dm-3. An increase in the initial metal concentration increases the sorption capacity. The sorption data of investigated metal ions are fitted to Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherm models. Langmuir model best fitted the equilibrium data (r2 > 0.99). Maximal sorption capacities of LVB for Pb(II), Cd(II) and Zn(II) at 25.0?0.5?C were 0.130, 0.103 and 0.098 mM g-1, respectively. The desorption experiments showed that the LVB could be reused for six cycles with a minimum loss of the initial sorption capacity.


In this study, the hydroxyapatite powder is investigated for both of methylene blue and thymol blue in aqueous solution. The physical and chemical properties of the adsorbent were evaluated systematically using the different techniques including Microsoft Excel programming, linear regression model and also the coefficient of determination. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted to determine the effect of contact time, solution pH, initial dye concentrations, and also the adsorbent dosage on adsorption. The adsorption kinetic parameters confirmed the better fitting of pseudo-second order kinetic model for both of methylene blue and thymol blue. The isotherm data of methylene blue and thymol blue could be well described by the Freundlich isotherm model which means the adsorption is multilayer adsorption with non-uniform distribution of adsorption heat and affinities over the heterogeneous surface. The maximum adsorption capacity (KF) of methylene blue and thymol blue is found to be 0.2736 (L/mg) and 11.18407 (L/mg) respectively. The high specific surface area and the porous structure with some acidic functional groups on the surface were obviously responsible for high dyes adsorption onto hydroxyapatite (HA). Adsorption kinetics data were modeled with the application of Pseudo first order, Pseudo second order and Intraparticle diffusion models. The results revealed that the Pseudo second order model was the best fitting model. Which means that, the adsorption mechanism followed two stages in which the first one was fast and the other was slower step. Which means the adsorption of dye molecules was limited by intra particle diffusion and film diffusion, as well as, the adsorption rate in both of adsorption system are depends only on the slower step.The Boyd plot exposed that the intra-particle diffusion was the rate controlling step of the adsorption process of both of methylene blue and thymol blue molecules by HA powder. However, the adsorption of methylene blue molecules (basic solution) using of HA as adsorbent particles is found to be extremely preferable than thymol blue molecules.

Abstract Our recently tailored and fully characterized poly (AN)-starch nanoparticle graft copolymer having 60.1 G.Y. % was used as a starting substrate for copper ions removal from waste water effluent after chemical modification with hydroxyl amine via oximation reaction. This was done to change the abundant nitrile groups in the above copolymer into amidoxime one and the resultant poly (amidoxime) resin was used as adsorbent for copper ions. The resin was characterized qualitatively via rapid vanadium ion test and instrumentally by FT-IR spectra and SEM morphological analysis to confirm the presence of amidoxime groups. The adsorption capacity of the resin was done using the batch technique, whereas the residual copper ions content in the filtrate before and after adsorption was measured using atomic adsorption spectrometry. It was found that the maximum adsorption capacity of poly (amidoxime) resin was 115.2 mg/g at pH 7, 400ppm copper ions concentration and 0.25 g adsorbent at room temperature. The adsorption, kinetics and isothermal study of the process is scrutinized using different variables, such as pH, contact time, copper ion concentration and adsorbent dosage. Different kinetics models comprising the pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order have been applied to the experimental data to envisage the adsorption kinetics. It was found from kinetic study that pseudo-second-order rate equation was better than pseudo-first-order supporting the formation of chemisorption process. While, in case of isothermal study, the examination of calculated correlation coefficient (R2) values showed that the Langmuir model provide the best fit to experimental data than Freundlich one.
