TL;DR: The theoretical results (derived equations) show that the observed rate constants of pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models are combinations of adsorption and desorption rate constants and also initial concentration of solute.
Abstract: The kinetics of sorption from a solution onto an adsorbent has been explored theoretically. The general analytical solution was obtained for two cases. It has been shown that at high initial concentration of solute (sorbate) the general equation converts to a pseudo-first-order model and at lower initial concentration of solute it converts to a pseudo-second-order model. In other words, the sorption process obeys pseudo-first-order kinetics at high initial concentration of solute, while it obeys pseudo-second-order kinetics model at lower initial concentration of solute. The theoretical results (derived equations) show that the observed rate constants of pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models are combinations of adsorption and desorption rate constants and also initial concentration of solute. The obtained theoretical equations are used to correlate experimental data for sorption kinetics of some solutes on various sorbents. The predictions of the theory are in excellent agreement with the experimental data.

TL;DR: The possible use of Giru clay, from Nigeria as an adsorbent for the removal of lead from water was investigated in this article, as a function of contact times, concentrations, temperatures and pH.
Abstract: The possible use of kaolinitic clay, Giru clay, from Nigeria as an adsorbent for the removal of lead from water was investigated Studies were carried out as a function of contact times, concentrations, temperatures and pH The kinetics of adsorption as well as adsorption isotherms at different temperatures were equally studied The results show that lead removal is favoured by low concentration, high temperature and acidic pH The reasons for these observations are adduced

TL;DR: In this paper, the ability of a homogeneous mixture of fly ash and wollastonite (1:1) to remove Cr(V1) from aqueous solutions by adsorption was investigated.
Abstract: The ability of a homogeneous mixture of fly ash and wollastonite (1:1) to remove Cr(V1) from aqueous solutions by adsorption has been investigated. The extent of removal is dependent on concentration, pH and temperature of the solution. The applicability of the Langmuir isotherm for the present system has been tested and the surface mass transfer coefficient at 30°C and pH 2.0 determined. Maximum removal was observed at pH 2.0 and 30°C. The adsorption is first governed by diffusion followed by surface compound formation. The thermodynamic parameters, desorption results and infrared studies indicated that the surface compounds, formed by interaction of adsorbate ions and different constituents of mixed adsorbent, were stable in nature.

TL;DR: In this article, the removal of Congo Red was carried out using biogas waste slurry as an adsorbent at different concentrations of dye and dosage, agitation time and pH.
Abstract: Removal of Congo Red was carried out using biogas waste slurry as adsorbent at different concentrations of dye, adsorbent dosage, agitation time and pH. The process follows the first-order rate expression. The equilibrium data fit well in the Freundlich model of adsorption. Maximum removal of dye, 95%, was observed in the pH range 2.3–9.4. Desorption of Congo Red showed that it is solubilised in 50% acetic acid to the extent of 6% and the remainder appears to be chemically complexed irreversibly to the adsorbent. Low desorption of dye from the adsorbent surface in water indicates that the process may not be, essentially, a reversible one.
