Modeling the Effect of pH on Kinetics of Heavy Metal Ion Biosorption. A Theoretical Approach Based on the Statistical Rate Theory

Abstract: The effect of pH is studied on the equilibrium and kinetics of heavy metal biosorption. A concept of an effective surface capacity is introduced to describe the equilibrium isotherms of metal ion adsorption. That effective surface capacity is controlled by adsorption of protons. The obtained simple theoretical expressions appear to be very efficient in correlating equilibrium isotherms of adsorption of two kinds of heavy metal ions on two kinds of biosorbents. Next, the statistical rate theory is applied to de… Show more

“…Therefore, both these equations are equally suitable to correlate the experimental (q, C) data as the models presented in the previous section; they are not able to account for the pH-related effects, however. A similar observation has already been made concerning Model A (Crist et al 1994;Plazinski and Rudzinski 2009a). Thus, the fact of good correlation of the data by these mathematical expressions should not lead to drawing any reliable conclusions about mechanisms governing the biosorption processes.…”

“…The preference of the sorbent for the Pb 2+ ions may be due to the fact that the metal ions have the largest atomic weight and paramagnetic, the most electronegative ion and has the highest standard reduction potential compared to Zn 2+ and Cd 2+ ions. These ionic properties make Pb 2+ most likely to be adsorbed [8,11]. …”
