Assessment on linear and non-linear analysis for the estimation of pseudo-second-order kinetic parameters for removal of dye using graphene nanosheet

TL;DR: In this article, a comparison between linear and non-linear methods of estimating the kinetic parameters was examined, and the coefficient of determination and chi-square test were employed as methods of error analysis for determining the best-fitting equation.
Abstract: Graphene nanosheets were used as adsorbent for the removal of crystal violet dye from its aqueous solution. The equilibrium kinetic data were analyzed using pseudo-second-order kinetic model. A comparison between linear and non-linear methods of estimating the kinetic parameters was examined. Four pseudo-second-order kinetic linear equations have been discussed here. The coefficient of determination and chi-square test were employed as methods of error analysis for determining the best-fitting equation. The results revealed that the non-linear method proved to be a significantly better alternative for obtaining the kinetic parameters in comparison with the linear form of the model. In addition, the test was found to be a better method for determination of the best-fitting model.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple method to choose either batch or fixed bed processes when the goal is to minimize the quantity of adsorbent needed to remove contaminants to below a specified threshold level is proposed.
Abstract: Newly emerged nanomaterials, such as graphene or carbon nanotubes, are of increasingly widespread importance in environmental remediation, especially in their ability to remove undesirable chemicals from hydrological systems. Despite recent advances, the high cost of these materials and the relative inability to regenerate them hinders their use at larger scales. Although it is commonly held that adsorption in fixed bed processes is more efficient than in batch processes, the definition of efficiency needs to be examined closely. In this paper, we show that there exists a critical effluent concentration above which batch processes are more efficient than fixed bed processes from this perspective. This work proposes a simple method to choose either batch or fixed bed processes when the goal is to minimize the quantity of adsorbent needed to remove contaminants to below a specified threshold level. It also provides a systematic set of self-consistency checks on experimental measurements that may be used for comparative studies of these methods.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the rate of adsorption of persistent organic compounds on granular carbon is quite low and the rate is partially a function of the pore size distribution of the adsorbent, of the molecular size and configuration of the solute, and of the relative electrokinetic properties of adsorbate and adsorbents.
Abstract: Laboratory investigations show that rates of adsorption of persistent organic compounds on granular carbon are quite low. Intraparticle diffusion of solute appears to control the rate of uptake, thus the rate is partially a function of the pore size distribution of the adsorbent, of the molecular size and configuration of the solute, and of the relative electrokinetic properties of adsorbate and adsorbent. Systemic factors such as temperature and pH will influence the rates of adsorption; rates increase with increasing temperature and decrease with increasing pH. The effect of initial concentration of solute is of considerable significance, the rate of uptake being a linear function of the square-root of concentration within the range of experimentation. Relative reaction rates also vary reciprocally with the square of the diameter of individual carbon particle for a given weight of carbon. Based on the findings of the research, fluidized-bed operation is suggested as an efficient means of using adsorption for treatment of waters and waste waters.
