A comparison of adsorption equilibrium, kinetics and thermodynamics of aqueous phase clomazone between faujasite X and a natural zeolite from Kenya

Abstract: In this study, a well-studied synthetic faujasite X (FAU-X) zeolite and a recently discovered natural zeolite material from Kenya (NZ-K) were compared for their efficiency in removal of clomazone, a herbicide and water contaminant, from aqueous solution. The adsorption kinetics, isotherms and thermodynamics parameters were investigated. Equilibrium sorption data were describable by both the Langmuir and Freundlich models. The adsorption kinetics obeyed the pseudo-second-order kinetic law while pore diffusion w… Show more

“…The movement mechanism of the adsorbate molecules from the bulk solution to the adsorbent surface is reported to occur in multiple steps, such as; external surface diffusion, pore diffusion and adsorption on the pore surface [16]. The kinetic data were fitted to intraparticle diffusion model (Eq.…”

“…In literature, the magnitude of the ΔH value is reported lie between 40 and120 kJ mol -1 for chemisorption mechanism. 8 In the present study, the ΔH values (2.728 kJ mol -1 and 29.955 kJ mol -1 for CAF and CIP, respectively) imply the adsorption mechanism of CAF and CIP onto NZ-K is predominantly physical in nature which puts to doubt the chemisorption mechanisms alluded to by the PSO model. The negative ΔH values confirm that the adsorption processes are exothermic while the negative entropy values indicate increased orderliness at the solute/adsorbent interface.…”
