Application of kinetic models in batch adsorption processes – A review

ABSTRACT

Population growth in recent times, coupled with large scale industrialization and urbanization activities have greatly contributed to production of very large quantities of pollutants which are injected into the biota at alarming rates. This situation has been causing great concern to environmentalists and health sectors worldwide. Adsorption is superior to all techniques applied in de-polluting the environment due to its environmental friendliness, low cost, easy to design, non-toxicity and other properties. Known precursors used in manufacturing adsorbents are costly. Researches in sourcing adsorbents from cheap materials are in progress. A very important way of predicting mechanisms of adsorption processes, is modeling experimental data obtained with adsorption isotherms to quantify adsorbent adsorption capacity. The time required for adsorption to run, especially in industries is so short that equilibrium is not reached. Hence, process-oriented kinetic models are applied in simulating experimental data. In this work, many kinetic models have been discussed presenting an overall review of the applications of the models as well as their strengths and weaknesses. The validity of any experimental result depends on the closeness of experimental and predicted parameters. This is achieved by use of determination of coefficient, and error functions.
