A new empirical rate equation for adsorption kinetics at solid/solution interface
TL;DR: In this article, a modified pseudo-n-order (MPnO) model was proposed and the results of fitting to the experimental data show that the MPnO model has low relative errors in the whole range of adsorption time.

Adsorption of tannic and gallic acids on a new polymeric adsorbent and the effect of Cu(II) on their removal
TL;DR: B batch kinetic studies indicated that the tannic acid adsorbed to WJN-09 could be fitted well by both pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order adsorption equations, but the intra-particle diffusion played a dominant role in the adsorptive role of gallic acid.

Adsorption of Pb(II) from aqueous solution using keratin waste – hide waste: Equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic modeling studies
TL;DR: In this paper, the adsorption capacities of three biosorbents, namely steamed (HWS), modified by urea (HWUS), and both-first steamed then urea-modified hide waste (WSU), were compared using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Boehm's titration and XPS.
