Kinetic analysis of the sorption of copper(II) ions on chitosan

The removal of copper ions from aqueous effluents by chitosan was studied in equilibrium and agitated batch contacting systems. The sorption capacities of chitosan for copper ions are 1.26 and 1.12 mmol g−1 at pH 3.5 and 4.5, respectively. The equilibrium experimental data were best correlated by the Langmuir equation. The kinetics of sorption were studied at an initial solution pH of 4.5 and a chitosan particle size of 355–500 µm. The kinetics were analyzed using four models: the pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, modified second-order and Elovich equations. The rate parameters for the four models were determined and the Elovich equation provided the best correlation of the experimental kinetic data. Copyright © 2003 Society of Chemical Industry
