Removal of trivalent chromium(III) from solution by biosorption in cork powder
TL;DR: In this paper, the removal of trivalent chromium from solutions using biosorption in cork powder is described and the adsorption isotherm is determined, along with the effect of different variables, such as biomass particle size, solid-liquid ratio, reaction time, metal concentration and pH, on the efficiency of chromium removal.

Adsorption kinetics of herbicide paraquat from aqueous solution onto activated bleaching earth.
W.T. Tsai,C.W. Lai,K.J. Hsien +2 more
TL;DR: Based on the isotherm data obtained from the fittings of the adsorption kinetics, Freundlich model appears to fit the adsorbent better than Langmuir model and the effective diffusion coefficient has also been estimated based on the restrictive diffusion model.
