Application of Kinetic Models to the Sorption of Copper(II) on to Peat
A comparison of the kinetics of the sorption of copper(II) on to peat from aqueous solution at various initial copper(II) concentrations and peat doses was made. The Elovich model and the pseudo-second order model both provided a high degree of correlation with the experimental data for most of the...

A comparison of the kinetics of the sorption of copper(II) on to peat from aqueous solution at various initial copper(II) concentrations and peat doses was made. The Elovich model and the pseudo-second order model both provided a high degree of correlation with the experimental data for most of the sorption process. There was a small discrepancy at the initial stages of sorption which suggested that film diffusion or wetting of the peat may be involved in the early part of the sorption process. Models evaluated included the fractional power equation, the Elovich equation, the pseudo-first order equation and the pseudo-second order equation. The kinetics of sorption were followed based on the sorption capacity of copper(II) on peat at various time intervals. Results show that chemical sorption processes may be rate-limiting in the sorption of copper(II) on to peat during agitated batch contact time experiments. The rate constant, the equilibrium sorption capacity and the initial sorption rate were calculated. From these parameters, an empirical model for predicting the concentrations of metal ions sorbed was derived. |
