“…In order to investigate kinetics of sorption of gold(III), platinum(IV) and palladium(II) ions on Lewatit VP OC 1026-Aliquat 336, the sorption kinetic models: pseudo-first-order (2), pseudo-second-order (3) and diffusion models as well as intra-particle diffusion model ( 4) and Dunwald-Wagner model (5) were used. Linear forms of these models are described by: ln q e À q t ð Þ ¼ lnq e À k 1 � t ðPFOÞ (2) q e = 0.8 mg/g Au(III) [25] XAD-7 impregnated by IL101 C = 0.01 M HCl, Agitation time: 7 days; q e = 87.9 mg/g Au(III) [26] XAD-1180 impregnated by IL101 C = 0.01 M HCl, Agitation time: 7 days; q e = 126 mg/g Au(III) [26] N-(diethylthiophosphoryl)-aza [18]crown-6 immobilized into Amberlite XAD-4 resin C = 0.05 M HCl q e = 42 mg/g Au(III) [27] Amberlite XAD-7 resin with a phenanthroline-derived diamide extractant N,N'diethyl-N,N'-ditolyl-2,9-diamide-1,10-phenanthroline (Et-Tol-DAPhen) C = 3 M HNO 3 q e = 74.6 mg/g Au(III) [28] XAD7HP impregnated by 2-mercaptobenzoxazole (MBO)/XAD7HP C = 0.5 M HNO 3 q e = 98.4 mg/g Pd(II) [29] Chitosan with dibenzo-18-crown-6-ether (Chitosan-DB18 C6) C o = 150 mg/L Pd(II), pH = 2 C o = 175 mg/L Pt(IV), pH = 2 q e = 17.6 mg/g Pd(II) q e = 98.4 mg/g Pt(IV) [30] Amberlite XAD7 functionalized with dibenzo-18-crown ether-6 (XAD7-DB18 C6) pH = 2, T = 298 K q e = 6.5 mg/g Pd(II) [31] Alginate-Cyanex 302 microcapsules 0.5 M HCl, T = 293 K q e = 22.1 mg/g Pd(II) [32] Monomer-impregnated adsorbent (MTCA XAD7) C o = 850 mg/L Pd(II), C = 1 M HCl q e = 7.9 mg/g Pd(II) [33] 2,2'-thiobisethanol dimethacrylate/ ethylene glycol dimethacrylate copolymer C = 4 M HCl q e = 100 mg/g Au(III) [34] Purogold™ A194 resin C = 1 M HNO 3 , T = 294 K q e = 0.76 mmol/ g Pd(II) [35] Lewatit VP OC 1026 impregnated by Aliquat 336 C = 0.1 M HCl, Agitation time: 24 h, T = 293 K, m:V = 0.1 g : 25 cm 3 q e = 94.1 mg/g Au(III) q e = 38.2 mg/g Pd(II) q e = 36.2 mg/g Pt(IV)…”
