Pseudo-second order model for sorption processes
A literature review of the use of sorbents and biosorbents to treat polluted aqueous effluents containing dyes:organics or metal ions has been conducted. Over 70 systems have been reported since 1984… Expand
SORPTION OF DYE FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTION BY PEAT
The sorption of two dyes, namely, Basic Blue 69 and Acid Blue 25 onto peat has been studied in terms of pseudo-second order and first order mechanisms for chemical sorption as well as an… Expand
A COMPARISON OF CHEMISORPTION KINETIC MODELS APPLIED TO POLLUTANT REMOVAL ON VARIOUS SORBENTS
A comparison of kinetic models describing the sorption of pollutants has been reviewed. The rate models evaluated include the Elovich equation, the pseudo-first order equation and the pseudo-second… Expand
Equilibrium Isotherm Studies for the Sorption of Divalent Metal Ions onto Peat: Copper, Nickel and Lead Single Component Systems
- Y. Ho, J. F. Porter, G. Mckay
- Chemistry
- 1 November 2002
The sorption of three divalent metal ions — copper, nickel and lead — from aqueous solution onto peat in single component systems has been studied and the equilibrium isotherms determined. The… Expand
The kinetics of sorption of divalent metal ions onto sphagnum moss peat
A pseudo-second order rate equation describing the kinetics of sorption of divalent metal ions onto sphagnum moss peat at diAerent initial metal ion concentrations and peat doses has been developed.… Expand
Dioxin characterisation, formation and minimisation during municipal solid waste (MSW) incineration: review
- G. Mckay
- Chemistry
- 28 April 2002
The present review discusses the current views on methods to minimise dioxins, namely polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDDs) and dibenzofurans (PCDFs), formation in MSW incineration systems. The… Expand
Application of Chitosan for the Removal of Metals From Wastewaters by Adsorption—Mechanisms and Models Review
- C. Gérente, V. C. K. Lee, P. Cloirec, G. Mckay
- Chemistry
- 1 January 2007
Chitin is the world's second most abundant naturally occurring polysaccharide. Much of this is disposed of as waste from seafood crustacean, mainly in shrimps, prawns, crabs, and lobsters, where it… Expand
KINETICS OF POLLUTANT SORPTION BY BIOSORBENTS: REVIEW
A review of the mechanisms of solute sorption onto various biosorbents has been performed. The mechanisms have been subdivided into reaction based systems and diffusion based systems and the… Expand
Adsorption isotherm models for basic dye adsorption by peat in single and binary component systems.

- 15 December 2004
Colored effluents from textile industries are a problem in many rivers and waterways. Prediction of dye adsorption capacities is important in design considerations. The sorption of three basic dyes,… Expand
Kinetic models for the sorption of dye from aqueous solution by wood
The sorption of Basic Blue 69 and Acid Blue 25 onto wood has been studied in terms of pseudo-second order, intraparticle diffusion and pseudo-first order chemical sorption processes. The batch… Expand
