Review of second-order models for adsorption systems.

TL;DR: An overview of second-order kinetic expressions is described in this paper based on the solid adsorption capacity, which shows that a pseudo-second-order rate expression has been widely applied to the Adsorption of pollutants from aqueous solutions onto adsorbents.

Kinetic models of sorption: a theoretical analysis.

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.

Second-order kinetic model for the sorption of cadmium onto tree fern: a comparison of linear and non-linear methods.

TL;DR: Results show that the non-linear method may be a better way to obtain the desired parameters of the pseudo-second-order kinetic model for the sorption of cadmium onto ground-up tree fern.

Use of TNSAC in phosphate adsorption studies and relationships. Literature, experimental methodology, justification and effects of process variables

TL;DR: The tamarind nut shell activated carbon (TNSAC) was used to evaluate its performance for phosphate adsorption in this article, and the results showed that 95% phosphate removal by the unrinsed TNSAC is possible in about 30 min under the test conditions.
