Abstract Adsorption technology has been widely applied in water and wastewater treatment, due to its low cost and high efficiency. The adsorption kinetic models have been used to evaluate the performance of the adsorbent and to investigate the adsorption mass transfer mechanisms. However, the physical meanings and the solving methods of the kinetic models have not been well established. The proper interpretation of the physical

ro of

meanings and the standard solving methods for the adsorption kinetic models are very important for the applications of the kinetic models. This paper mainly focused on the

-p

physical meanings, applications, as well as the solving methods of 16 adsorption kinetic

models. Firstly, the mathematical derivations, physical meanings and applications of

re

the adsorption reaction models, the empirical models, the diffusion models, and the

lP

models for adsorption onto active sites were analyzed and discussed in detail. Secondly, the model validity evaluation equations were summarized based on literature. Thirdly,

ur na

a convenient user interface (UI) for solving the kinetic models was developed based on Excel software and provided in supplementary information, which is helpful for readers to simulate the adsorption kinetic process.

1. Introduction Adsorption is a mass transfer process that pollutants from the liquid phase to the solid adsorbent. Adsorption is one of the most widely used technologies in water and waste water treatment, because it has many advantages, such as simple design, low price, easy maintenance, and high efficiency (Wang and Chen, 2009; 2014; Wang and Zhuang, 2017; 2019; Wang et al., 2018). The adsorption kinetic study provides

ro of

information of the adsorption rate, the performance of the adsorbent used, and the mass transfer mechanisms. Knowing the adsorption kinetic is essential for the design of the adsorption systems. The adsorption mass transfer kinetic includes three steps, as shown

-p

in Fig. 1. The first step is the external diffusion. In this step, the adsorbate transfers

re

through the liquid film around the adsorbent. The concentrations difference between

lP

the bulk solution and the surface of the adsorbent are the driving force of the external diffusion. The second step is the internal diffusion. The internal diffusion describes the

ur na

diffusion of the adsorbate in the pores of the adsorbent. The third step is the adsorption of the adsorbate in the active sites of the adsorbent. Adsorbate

Various adsorption kinetic models, such as the pseudo-first-order (PFO) model (Lagergren, 1898), the pseudo-second-order (PSO) model (Ho et al., 1996), the mixedorder (MO) model (Guo and Wang, 2019a), the Ritchie’s equation (Ritchie, 1977), the Elovich model (Elovich and Larinov, 1962), and the phenomenological mass transfer models (Blanco et al., 2017; Marin et al., 2014; Scheufele et al., 2016; Hu et al., 2019; Suzaki et al., 2017) have been developed to describe the adsorption kinetic process.

ro of

However, some problems are existed in the applications of these kinetic models. The first one is that the most applied PFO and PSO models are empirical models and lack

-p

of specific physical meanings. We cannot investigate the mass transfer mechanisms by these empirical kinetic models. Therefore, the physical meanings of the empirical

re

kinetic models should be established. The second one is that the differential kinetic

lP

models, such as the phenomenological external/internal and adsorption in active sites models have specific physical meanings, but the solving methods are complicated. Few

ur na

studies have investigated the mass transfer processes by these models (Blanco et al., 2017; Marin et al., 2014; Scheufele et al., 2016; Hu et al., 2019; Suzaki et al., 2017; Guo and Wang, 2019b). The complex solving methods hinder the applications of these

Jo

models. The third one is that in some published papers, the kinetic models are applied or solved in inappropriate manner. For example, the Frusawa and Smith (F&S) model can only be used for modeling the adsorption process that the isotherm is linear (Frusawa and Smith, 1973). However, it has been applied for the adsorption process that the isotherm is Langmuir-type (Özer et al., 2005; Wang et al., 2008).

10

In addition, the linear regression method is the most widely applied method in the calculations of the model parameters, owing to its simplicity (Ma et al., 2018; Ersan et al., 2019; Shang et al., 2019; Delgado et al., 2019; Darwish et al., 2019; Sabarinathan et al., 2019). However, the linearization process changed the independent/dependent variables. This process could introduce propagate errors to the independent/dependent variables, and could cause inaccurate estimations of the parameters (El-Khaiary et al.,

ro of

2010; Ho, 2006; Kumar and Sivanesan, 2006; Guo and Wang, 2019c). The nonlinear

method can provide consistent and accurate estimations for model parameters (El-

-p

Khaiary et al., 2010). It is of great significance to provide the nonlinear solving method for the adsorption kinetic models.

re

Based on the above, the physical meanings, applications, and solving methods of

lP

16 adsorption kinetic models were thoroughly studied in this paper. The objectives of this review paper were: (1) to describe the mathematical

ur na

derivations and to analyze the physical meanings of the adsorption reaction kinetic models, the empirical models, the diffusion models, and the models for adsorption onto active sites; (2) to summarize the applications of the adsorption kinetic models based

Jo

on literature; (3) to review the model validity evaluation equations; and (4) to develop a convenient user interface (UI) for solving the kinetic models based on Excel.

2. Adsorption reaction models and empirical models 2.1 Pseudo-first-order (PFO) model The PFO model was firstly proposed by Lagergren (1898). The differential form of the PFO model is described by Eq. (1) (Lagergren, 1898): 𝑑𝑞𝑡 𝑑𝑡

= 𝑘1 (𝑞𝑒 − 𝑞𝑡 )

(1)

Integrating Eq. (1) for the conditions of q0=0 yields:

ro of

𝑞𝑡 = 𝑞𝑒 (1 − 𝑒 −𝑘1 𝑡 )

(2)

The linearized form of the PFO model is presented as follows. ln(𝑞𝑒 − 𝑞𝑡 ) = ln 𝑞𝑒 − 𝑘1 𝑡

-p

(3)

Eq. (3) has been frequently used to fit the kinetics data and to calculate the

re

parameters qe and k1, by plotting ln(qe-qt) vs. t (Ma et al., 2018; Ersan et al., 2019;

lP

Shang et al., 2019; Delgado et al., 2019; Darwish et al., 2019; Sabarinathan et al., 2019, Khan et al., 2019; Agarwal and Rani, 2017; Gamoudi and Srasra, 2019). However, the

ur na

linearization process may cause inaccurate estimations of the parameters (El-Khaiary et al., 2010; Ho, 2006; Kumar and Sivanesan, 2006). The nonlinear method, which can provide accurate estimations for model parameters, is provided in the following section.

Jo

The PFO parameter qe is the equilibrium adsorption amount estimated by the PFO model. Rodrigues and Silva (2016) reported that the PFO model was theoretically consistent and equaled to the linear driving force (LDF) model, when the adsorption isotherm could be represented by the linear model (Eq. (4)). 𝑞𝑒 = 𝐾𝐶𝑒

(4)

12

The PFO parameter k1 is frequently used to describe how fast the adsorption equilibrium is achieved (Plazinski et al., 2009). However, as shown in Eq. (1), the adsorption rate dqt/dt is related to both k1 and (qe-qt). Small value of k1 and big value of (qe-qt) could be obtained when the adsorption is slow. Therefore, it is more precise to calculate the PFO rate by Eq. (5), instead of describing the adsorption rate by comparing the values of k1. PFO rate = 𝑘1 (𝑞𝑒 − 𝑞𝑡 )

ro of

(5)

The PFO model used to be considered as empirical model for a long time. Azizian

-p

(2004) deduced the PFO model from the Langmuir kinetics model (Eq. (6)) (Langmuir, 1918), and analyzed the physical meanings of this model. 𝑑𝑡

(8)

Jo

Effort has been made to study the physical meanings and the applications of the PFO model. Azizian (2004) concluded that when C0 >> mqmθ/V, Eq. (8) was transformed to Eq. (9), which could be simplified to the PFO model. 𝑑𝜃 𝑑𝑡

= 𝑘𝑎 𝐶0 (1 − 𝜃) − 𝑘𝑑 𝜃

(9)

Liu and Shen (2008) also concluded that the simplification of the Langmuir

13

kinetics model to the PFO and PSO models was C0-dependent. Zhang (2019) suggested that the conditions for the PFO model were: (1) C0/β approached to zero; (2) C0/β approached to infinite; and (3) kaβ/kd approached to zero. Our previous research (Guo and Wang, 2019a) concluded that mqm/V was approximately a constant for a given adsorption process, therefore when a few active sites were occupied compared with C0, mqmθ/V could be neglect. Three conditions could satisfy this hypothesis, as presented

ro of

in Fig. 2.

The first one is that the value of C0 is high. Table 1 summarizes the applications

-p

of the PFO model. The adsorption of BB69 and AB25 onto peat, MO1 onto NiO NPs

and CuO NPs, Cr(VI) onto iron electrodes, benzene onto activated carbon, MB onto

re

BBLS-CA, resorcinol onto CTAB/NaOH/flyash composites, Cu (II) onto RSP and

lP

SMSP could be better fitted by the PFO model than the PSO model at high C0 (Darwish et al., 2019; Khan et al., 2019; Ho and Mckay, 1998; Stähelin et al., 2018; Agarwal and

ur na

Rani, 2017; Sari et al., 2017; Gunasundari and Kumar, 2017). Siyal et al. (2017) investigated the adsorption of anionic surfactant onto fly ash based geopolymer, concluded that when C0 increased from 100 mg·L-1 to 880 mg·L-1, the values of the

Jo

correlation coefficient (R2) of the PFO model increased from 0.0035 to 0.937. Ma et al. (2008) reported that the values of R2 of the PFO model increased from 0.7556 to 0.9587, with the increase of C0 of Congo Red from 100 mg·L-1 to 800 mg·L-1. In the reported of MV onto granular activated carbon, it was concluded that by increasing C0 from 2.77×10-6 to7.49×10-6 mol·L-1, the values of R2 of the PFO model increased from

14

0.9704 to 0.9886 (Azizian e al., 2009). The second one is that the adsorption process is in the initial stage. Hu et al. (2018) found that when t approached to zero, the PSO model approximated to the PFO model. Ho and Mckay (1999) studied the adsorption of Pb(II) onto peat, found that the PFO model adequately represented the kinetics data for the first 20 min (Table 1). The third one is that the adsorbent material has a few active sites. In this sense, the

ro of

external diffusion or the internal diffusion is the rate controlling step. The adsorption of metals ions and hydrophilic compounds onto microplastics could be represented by

-p

the PFO model (Guo et al., 2019a; Turner and Holmes, 2015). One possible reason is that microplastics are hydrophobic compounds, and the diffusion of hydrophilic

re

compounds to the surface of the hydrophobic microplastics is difficult. Therefore, the

lP

external/internal diffusion is the rate limiting step. However, the adsorption of hydrophobic organic compounds (such as lubrication oil and polybrominated diphenyl

ur na

ethers) onto microplastics could be better described by the PSO model (Hu et al., 2017; Xu et al., 2019). The diffusion of hydrophobic compounds to the surface of microplastics is easier than the hydrophilic compounds. The adsorption onto active sites

Jo

may be the rate controlling step. Therefore, the PFO model represents the condition that a few active sites exist in the adsorbent material or a few adsorbate ions/molecules can interact with the active sites. As summarized in Table 1, the majority of literature modeled the whole adsorption process instead of modeling the initial stage of the adsorption. Therefore, the conditions

15

for the PFO model are at high initial concentration of adsorbate and the adsorption is not controlled by the adsorption in active sites. In some cases, the PFO model could

represent the external/internal diffusion.

2.2 Pseudo-second-order (PSO) model

re

-: Not mentioned.

The PSO model (Eq. (10)) was firstly applied to model the adsorption of lead onto

ur na

peat (Ho et al., 1996). Then the PSO model was widely adopted to describe the adsorption processes. Most published papers used the PSO model to predict the adsorption experimental data and to calculate the adsorption rate constants. 𝑑𝑞𝑡

𝑑𝑡

The integrated PSO model is described as following:

𝑞𝑡 =

The linearization of the PSO model changes the weight of qt, and introduces propagated errors, which leads to the inaccurate calculations of the model parameters (El-Khaiary et al., 2010; Ho, 2006; Kumar and Sivanesan, 2006; Guo and Wang, 2019c). The nonlinear method for solving the PSO model is provided in the following section. Similar with the PFO rate constant k1, the PSO rate constant k2 is also used to describe the rate of adsorption equilibrium (Plazinski et al., 2009). But the adsorption

ro of

rate dqt/dt is related to both k2 and (qe-qt)2. Thus, it is more precise to calculate the PSO rate by Eq. (13). PSO rate = 𝑘2 (𝑞𝑒 − 𝑞𝑡 )2

-p

(13)

The physical meanings of the PSO model have been investigated. Azizian (2004)

re

found that when C0 was low, the Langmuir kinetics model (Eq. (8)) could be simplified

lP

to the PSO model. Liu (2008) suggested that the PSO model was related to the vacant active sites. Zhang (2019) reported that the conditions for the PFO model were C0/β

ur na

approached to 1 and kaβ/kd approached to infinite. Marczewski (2010a) found that the conditions for the PSO model were the equilibrium surface coverage fraction θe approached to 1 and C0/β approached to 1. Our previous study (Guo and Wang, 2019a)

Jo

concluded that the PSO model could represent three conditions (Fig. 2). The first one is that the value of C0 is low. Sabarinathan et al. (2019) studied the

adsorption of MB onto molecular polyoxometalate, found that the values of R2 of the PSO model decreased from 0.8979 to 0.5905 with the increase of C0 from 140 mg·L-1 to 300 mg·L-1. The applications of the PSO model in literature are summarized in Table

As shown in Table 2, at low initial concentrations of adsorbate, the adsorption kinetics of BB69 and AB25 onto peat, MO1 onto NiO NPs and CuO NPs, Cr(VI) onto iron electrodes, benzene onto activated carbon, MB onto BBLS-CA, resorcinol onto CTAB/NaOH/flyash composites, Cu(II) onto RSP and SMSP are better modeled by the PSO model (Ho and Mckay, 1998; Darwish et al., 2019; Khan et al., 2019; Stähelin et

The second one is at the final stage of the adsorption process. As shown in Table 2, the PSO model could better represent the adsorption of Pb(II) onto peat for 20–90 min than the PFO model (Ho and Mckay, 1999). However, this phenomenon may

Jo

extend the applications of the PSO model, because the adsorption kinetics data reported in most published papers are from the initial to the final (equilibrium) stage of the adsorption process (Tables 1 and 2). Simonin (2016) demonstrated that the kinetics data closed to or at equilibrium produced bias and unfairly promoted the PSO model. Simonin (2016) suggested using kinetics data for which the fractional uptake was lower than 85%. 21

The third one is that the adsorbent material is abundant with active sites. In the reported of Pb(Ⅱ) onto hydrochar and modified hydrochar, it was observed that for modified hydrochar, the value of R2 of the PSO model was 0.990, while for hydrochar, this value was 0.945 (Xia et al., 2019).

active site.

2.3 Mixed-order (MO) model The mixed-order (MO) model has the following form (Guo and Wang, 2019a):

𝑑𝑞𝑡 𝑑𝑡

= 𝑘1’ (𝑞𝑒 − 𝑞𝑡 ) + 𝑘2’ (𝑞𝑒 − 𝑞𝑡 )2

(14)

The PFO and PSO rate of the MO model can be calculated by Eqs. (15)–(16).

22

PFO rate' = 𝑘1’ (𝑞𝑒 − 𝑞𝑡 ) (15) PSO rate' = 𝑘2’ (𝑞𝑒 − 𝑞𝑡 )2 (16) In most cases, the PFO rate and PSO rate describe the diffusion step and the step of adsorption on active sites, respectively (Guo and Wang, 2019a). In addition, the MO

ro of

model represents the overall adsorption process. The following conditions satisfy the

assumption of the MO model: (1) arbitrary stage of the adsorption; (2) the rate

-p

controlling step is the diffusion or the adsorption; and (3) arbitrary initial adsorbate concentration in solution (Guo and Wang, 2019a).

re

Eq. (14) is similar in the form to the hybrid-order’ (HO) model (Eq. (17)) provided

by Marczewski (2010b). 𝑑𝑡 𝑑𝐹 𝑑𝑡

Jo

As described in Eq. (17), the HO model is the relationship between θt and t, which makes it difficult to directly apply the HO model to the kinetics experimental data. The MOE was simplified according to some assumptions, such as k2aaeq/(k1a+ k2aaeq) < 1 (Marczewski, 2010a), leading to the lower precision in the estimations of the model parameters. Therefore, the MO model presented by Guo and Wang (2019a) is

23

recommended to model the kinetics processes. The MO model has been successfully used to describe the adsorption of SMT onto MOFs, and SMX, SMT, and CEP-C onto microplastics (Guo and Wang, 2019b; Zhuang et al., 2020). The MO model is a differential equation, which can be solved by the Runge-Kutta method. Although the solving method of the MO model based on MATLAB is provided in our previous study (Guo and Wang, 2019a), the application of

ro of

the program in MATLAB is still complicated. Therefore, we developed an UI in Excel software, which is easily to be used for solving the MO model. The details are shown

in the following section. 2.5 Elovich model

re

The basic assumptions of the Elovich model were (1) the activation energy

increased with adsorption time and (2) the surface of the adsorbent was heterogeneous. The Elovich model is an empirical model without definite physical meanings. It is

commonly used to model the chemisorption of gas onto solid. The Elovich model has been described by Eq. (19) (Elovich and Larinov, 1962): 𝑑𝑞𝑡 𝑑𝑡

Jo

Integrating Eq. (19) for the condition of q0 = 0 yields: 1

𝑞𝑡 = ln(1 + 𝑎𝑏𝑡)

𝑏

Eq. (20) is a nonlinear equation, which can be solved by the nonlinear least square

regression method (plot qt versus t) or by the linear method (plot qt versus ln(1+abt)). However, the nonlinear method is more complex than the linear method. And the linear

24

method needs to give the appropriate initial values of ab, which is difficult for the researchers (Ho, 2006). Chien and Clayton (1980) simplified Eq. (20) with the assumption of abt >> 1: 1

𝑏

𝑏

𝑞𝑡 = ln(𝑎𝑏𝑡) = ln(𝑎𝑏) + ln(𝑡)

Plotting qt versus ln(t) can solve Eq. (21) by the linear regression method. In the past decade, the Elovich model has been used to represent the adsorption of liquid-solid

ro of

systems. The applications of the Elovich model are summarized in Table 3. Eq. (21) is

the most frequently applied form of the Elovich model, which has been successfully

used for modeling the adsorption of metals ions and organic pollutants on adsorbents.

Only a few published papers adopted Eq. (20) for the estimations of the Elovich

parameters (Lin et al., 2018; Brito et al., 2018; Kalhor et al., 2018). However, the

assumption for Eq. (21), namely, abt >> 1, may reduce the accuracy of the Elovich model. Thus, although the application of Eq. (21) is simple and convenient, it is not

2.4 Ritchie’s equation and pseudo-nth-order (PNO) model Ritchie’s equation was firstly proposed for modeling the adsorption kinetic data of gases on solids (Ritchie, 1977). The physical meaning of Ritchie’s equation is that the adsorption is dominated by the adsorption in active sites. And one adsorbate 26

ion/molecule can occupy n active sites. The desorption process is not considered in this model. Ritchie’s equation is presented by Eq. (23) (Ritchie, 1977): 𝑑𝜃 𝑑𝑡

= 𝛼(1 − 𝜃)𝑛

(23)

After integration with the initial condition of q0 = 0, Ritchie’s equation becomes: For n=1, 𝜃 = 1 − 𝑒 −𝛼𝑡

Jo

Eq. (28) is the Ritchie’s second-order (RSO) equation. Note that the RSO equation is different with the nonlinear form of the PSO model (Eq. (11)). The applications of Ritchie’s equation are summarized in Table 4. The RSO model is frequently used in the adsorption of gas or liquid onto solid. Cheung et al. (2001) studied the adsorption kinetics of cadmium onto bone char by using the RSO model. Fashi et al. (2018) applied

27

the RSO model to the adsorption data of CO2 onto piperazine-modified activated alumina. B. Wang et al. (2018) demonstrated that Ritchie’s equation could best fit the kinetics data of MB onto calcium alginate, ball-milled biochar, and their composites. Özer (2007) developed the pseudo-nth-order (PNO) model (Eq. (29)) for modeling the adsorption kinetics data of Pb(II) on sulphuric acid-treated wheat bran. 𝑑𝑞𝑡 𝑑𝑡

The PNO model mainly represents the adsorption processes that the order factor is between 1 and 2 or larger than 2. Unfortunately, the PNO model is an empirical

ur na

equation without specific physical meanings. The applications of the PNO model are summarized in Table 4. Caroni et al. (2009) indicated that values of n of tetracycline adsorption on chitosan particles increased with the increase of the initial concentrations

Jo

of tetracycline. Liu et al. (2019) reported that the value of n was 2.276 at low initial concentration of 17β-Estradiol (0.2 mg·L-1), while it decreased to 0.979 at high C0 (6 mg·L-1). Leyva-Ramos et al. (2010) suggested that the values of n were not correlated with the experimental conditions, such as pH, C0, impeller speeds, and so on. The nonlinear form of the PNO model cannot be written as the linear form.

28

Therefore, the solution of the PNO model is more complex than the PFO and PSO models. Özer (2007) solved the PNO model using the nonlinear regression method by Statistica 6.0 software. Tseng et al. (2014) used commercial SigmaPlot 11 software to solve the PNO model. In the following section, a convenient method for solving the Ritchie’s equation and the PNO model was provided. Eq. (32) is proposed for the calculation of the PNO rate: PNOrate = 𝑘𝑛 (𝑞𝑒 − 𝑞𝑡 )𝑛

3. Diffusional models 3.1 External diffusion models The external diffusion models assume that the diffusion of adsorbate in a bounding liquid film around the adsorbent is the slowest step. Several equations have been 30

The value of kF&SS is frequently used to describe the external diffusional process

ro of

(Özer et al., 2005, Panday et al., 1986) The F&S model assumes that the external diffusion is the slowest step, the

intraparticle diffusion is negligible, and the isotherm is linear (Eq. (4)) (Frusawa and

-p

Smith, 1973). Note that Eq. (37) cannot be used for modeling the adsorption condition

re

The applications of the F&S model are summarized in Table 5. Unfortunately,

most studies applied Eq. (37) to their adsorption kinetics data when the isotherm is

described by the Langmuir isotherm model (Özer et al., 2005; Wang et al., 2008; Öztürk and Malkoc, 2014; Fu et al., 2012, 2015). In order to establish the relationship between qt and t, Eq. (38) is brought into Eq. (37), and the result is presented in Eq. (39): 𝑉

most frequently used form of the M&W model. As summarized in Table 5, the M&W

3.1.4 Phenomenological external mass transfer (EMT) model

The EMT model (Eq. (43)) assumes that the film diffusion is the slowest step, and

the equilibrium is obtained on the surface of the adsorbent (Ruthven, 1984; Hines and Maddox, 1985). The driving force of the external diffusion is the concentration gradient of adsorbent in the liquid film.

(43)

Then the equilibrium phenomenon is described by the adsorption isotherm model. The isotherm model is presented as qet = f(Cet). Then Cet = f-1(qet). For example, if the Langmuir model can adequately represent the adsorption isotherm, the equilibrium phenomenon is described as following: 𝑞𝑡 =

𝑞𝑚𝑎𝑥 𝐾𝐿 𝐶et

Substitution of Eqs. (38) and (44) into Eq. (43) yields: )

The initial conditions of the EMT model are q0 = 0 and Cet(0) = 0. The EMT model can be solved by the Runge-Kutta method. The solving method is provided in the

following section.

lP

As shown in Table 5, the adsorption processes of dyes onto Dowex Optipore SD2 and SB biomass, as well as metals ions onto argassum horneri and fixed-bed columns

have been modeled by the EMT model. The equilibrium phenomenon was described by the Langmuir (Blanco et al., 2017; Marin et al., 2014; Suzaki et al., 2017; Sausen et al., 2018), BET (Scheufele et al., 2016), Linear (Guo et al., 2019b), and Freundlich (Hu

Jo

et al., 2019; Guo et al., 2019b) isotherms. 3.2 Internal diffusion models The internal diffusion models assume that the diffusion of adsorbate within

adsorbent is the slowest step. The diffusion of adsorbate in the liquid film around the adsorbent and the adsorption onto the active sites are instantaneous. Here we reviewed

37

three most used internal diffusion models, i.e., the Boyd’s intraparticle diffusion model, the Weber and Morris (W&M) model, and the phenomenological internal mass transfer (IMT) model.

3.2.1 Boyd’s intraparticle diffusion model

𝐹=1 −

Where F = qt/q∞, q∞ (mg·g-1) is obtained by the adsorption isotherm model (q∞ = f(Ce)) (Yao and Chen, 2017).

-p

As the value of F up to 0.05, Eq. (46) is simplified to Eq. (47) (Boyd et al., 1947): (47)

re

𝐹 = 1.08√𝐵𝑡

lP

Reichenberg (1953) suggested that for the values of F ranged from 0 to 0.85, Eq. (46) could be rearranged to:

Or

Jo

When the values of F range from 0.86 to 1, Eq. (46) is transformed to Eq. (49) (Reichenberg, 1953): 𝐹 =1−

𝜋2 6

𝑒 −𝐵𝑡

(49 a)

Or 𝐵𝑡 = −ln

𝜋2 6

(1 − 𝐹)

(49 b)

If the experimental data obey the Boyd’s intraparticle diffusion model, B is a 38

constant. In other words, if the plot of Bt vs t is a straight line and passes through (0, 0), the adsorption process is controlled by the intraparticle diffusion. Please note that in the applications of Boyd’s intraparticle diffusion model, the term Bt is the product of B and t. In the past decades, Boyd’s intraparticle diffusion equation has been used to represent the internal mass transfer processes (Table 5). For example, Ofomaja (2010)

ro of

studied the adsorption of Pb(II) onto mansonia wood sawdust using the Boyd’s model.

Albadarin et al. (2012) demonstrated that the values of R2 of Boyd’s model for the

-p

adsorption of Cr(Ⅵ) (C0 = 10-50 mg·L-1) onto dolomite ranged from 0.899 to 0.951.

Al-Muhtaseb et al. (2011) concluded that the plot of Bt vs t didn’t pass through (0, 0),

re

which indicated that the adsorption of phenol onto PMMA was not controlled by the

lP

intraparticle diffusion.

ur na

3.2.2 Weber and Morris (W&M) model

Weber and Morris (1963) deduced a model to describe the intraparticle diffusion process. The W&M model is presented as following: 𝑞𝑡 = 𝑘W&M 𝑡 1/2

Jo

(50)

By plotting qt vs. t, the parameter kW&M can be estimated. The plot of qt vs t1/2 is a

straight line and passes through (0, 0) when the intraparticle diffusion is the controlling process. Otherwise, the adsorption is controlled by multiple processes. Because W&M model is simple and convenient, it has been widely applied to find out the rate controlling step, such as phenol onto PMMA (Al-Muhtaseb et al., 2011), 39

TA, MB, phenol, and 4-CP on activated carbons (Wu et al., 2009), Cu(II), Cd(II), and Pb(II) onto Caulerpa lentillifera (Apiratikul and Pavasant, 2008), Dibenzothiophene, MB and AB 25 onto activated carbons (Danmaliki and Saleh, 2016; Archin et al., 2019) (Table 5).

(54)

Eq. (54) can be solved by the Runge-Kutta method with the initial condition of q0 = 0. The applications of the IMT model are shown in Table 5. The equilibrium phenomenon in the liquid-solid interface was described by the BET (Scheufele et al., 40

2016), Freundlich (Hu et al., 2019), and Langmuir isotherms (Blanco et al., 2017; Marin et al., 2014; Suzaki et al., 2017). 3.3 Pore volume and surface diffusion (PVSD) model The basic assumptions of the PVSD model are that (1) the adsorbent particle is spherical, (2) the convective mass transport in the pores is negligible, (3) the solution is

The equilibrium phenomenon is described by the adsorption isotherm: qet = f(Cet). The PVSD model is simplified to the pore volume diffusion (PVD) model when Ds = 0 and Dp ≠ 0 or to the surface diffusion (SD) model when Dp = 0 and Ds ≠ 0.

Jo

Detailed numerical solution of the PVSD model is given by Souza et al. (2017a). In recent years, the PVSD model has been used to describe the diffusional adsorption of CV and MG onto bentonite clay (Souza et al., 2017a, 2019), pyridine and metronidazole onto granular activated carbon (Ocampo-Perez et al., 2010, DíazBlancas et al., 2018), acetaminophen onto activated carbon pellets (Ocampo-Perez et

41

al., 2017), and ibuprofen onto biochar (Ocampo-Perez et al., 2019) (Table 5).

4. Models for adsorption onto active sites (AAS) The models for AAS assume that the adsorption onto active site is the slowest step, and the diffusion process is negligible. Langmuir kinetics model and Phenomenological AAS model, as well as the Ritchie’s equation reviewed in the previous section can

describe the AAS phenomenon. 4.1 Langmuir kinetics model

The Langmuir kinetics model can be described by Eq. (6) (Langmuir, 1918), as

At adsorption equilibrium, Eq. (61) is reduced to the Langmuir isotherm model (Langmuir, 1918). Eq. (61) need to be solved by the Runge-Kutta method with the

ur na

initial condition of q0 = 0 based on MATLAB or other programming software, which makes it difficult to apply. Efforts have been made to find the analytical solution of the Langmuir kinetics. Liu and Shen (2008) reported that the Langmuir kinetics could be

Jo

solved by Eq. (17). The model coefficients kL1 and kL2 are calculated as following: 𝑘L1 = √𝑘𝑎 2 (𝐶0 − 𝑞𝑒 𝑚𝑠 )2 +2𝑘𝑎 𝑘𝑑 (𝐶0 + 𝑞𝑒 𝑚𝑠 ) + 𝑘𝑑

(62)

𝑘L2 = 𝑘𝑎 𝑞𝑒 𝑚𝑠

(63)

Shen et al. (2009) developed a simplified Langmuir kinetics model using a simple geometric approach. Tien and Ramarao (2014) reported a transformed Langmuir rate

42

equation related to the PFO and PSO models. For the applications of the Langmuir kinetics model, Al-Jabari (2016) studied the adsorption kinetics of Cr(III) onto mineral particles using the Langmuir kinetics. Marczewski et al. (2013) investigated the adsorption and desorption kinetics of benzene on carbons using the integrated Langmuir kinetics model. Marczewski (2011) extended the application of Langmuir kinetics in dilute solutions.

The solving methods reported by the previous studies are also complex and may lead to difficulties in parameters estimations. In the following section, a convenient

Fig. 3 indicated that R2 and adjR2 are two of the most frequently calculated parameters. Over 60% of the literature has compared the values

of R2 and adjR2 to evaluate the kinetic models. The values of χ2, SSE, and HYBRID are

also calculated in some studies. The proportions of the above statistical parameters are

11%, 11%, and 10%, respectively. Few studies adopted MSE for the evaluation of their models. However, the values of R2 of different kinetic models always have small

difference. For example, Delgado et al. (2019) reported that the values of R2 of the PFO

lP

Several points should be noticed when using the UI for calculation: (1) In the data input window, if the background of the input position is yellow (Fig.

4 (right)), this value is related to the experimental data or the data calculated by the isotherms. These values will not change in the solving process. (2) For the Ritchie’s equation, the value of n is assumed to be larger than 1, because calculation errors are generated when 0 < n < 1. 49

(3) Eqs. (39) and (42) are used as the equations of the F&S and M&W models. (4) For the EMT, IMT, and AAS models, the Langmuir isotherm is adopted to describe the adsorption equilibrium phenomenon. (5) Please note that the PVSD and the Boyd’s intraparticle diffusion models are not included in this UI. Because the PVSD model is complicated and cannot be solved by the Excel software. And the Boyd’s intraparticle diffusion model is a piecewise

7. Concluding remarks and perspectives

-p

in the nomenclature table in this paper.

lP

This review aimed to study the physical meanings, applications, and solving methods of 16 adsorption kinetic models, including 6 adsorption reaction models and

ur na

empirical models, 8 diffusional models, and 2 models for adsorption onto active sites. For the adsorption reaction models and empirical adsorption kinetic models, the most widely used PFO model and PSO model can be deduced by the Langmuir kinetics.

Jo

The theoretical analysis and the review on literature indicated that the PFO model represented the conditions of (1) at high initial concentrations of adsorbate; (2) at the initial stage of adsorption, and (3) few active sites exist in the adsorbent material. In some cases, the PFO model can describe the diffusional kinetics process. The PSO model could represent the conditions of (1) at high initial concentrations of adsorbate; (2) at the final stage of adsorption, and (3) the adsorbent is abundant with active sites. 50

The PSO model reveals the mechanism of adsorption in active sites in most cases. The MO kinetics can describe the whole adsorption processes. The empirical Elovich and the PNO models are applied in some studies, but they are lacking of specific physical meanings and cannot offer important information about the mass transfer mechanisms. For the mass transfer models, the external diffusion process can be described by the Boyd’s external diffusion equation, F&S, M&W, and phenomenological EMT

ro of

models. These models have specific physical meanings (external diffusion), and they

are more suitable to model the external mass transfer processes. The Boyd’s

-p

intraparticle diffusion model, M&W, and phenomenological IMT models can represent

the intraparticle diffusion process. For the adsorption in active sites process, the

re

Langmuir kinetics, Ritchie’s equation and the phenomenological AAS models can

lP

describe this process. These models can give the mass transfer mechanisms more accurately. The chosen of the kinetic models should be based on the mass transfer

ur na

processes.

In addition, the statistical parameters R2, adjR2, 2, SSE, MSE, and HYBRID are widely used to evaluate the performance of the kinetic models. In which R2 and adjR2

Jo

are the most frequently applied statistical parameters. To rigorously evaluate the fitting results of the kinetic models, we recommend calculating all the above statistical parameters.

The adsorption kinetic models include the nonlinear kinetic models (such as the nonlinear PFO, PSO models and the Elovich model) and the differential kinetic models

51

(such as the MO model, the phenomenological EMT, IMT, and AAS models, and the Langmuir kinetics model). The solving methods for these models are required. In this paper, an UI for solving the kinetic models is developed based on Excel solver add-in and the Runge-Kutta method, which can be used conveniently to solve the models reported in this review. In recent years, some other novel kinetic models, such as the Largitte double step

ro of

model (Largitte and Pasquier, 2016), the film-pore mass transfer (FPMT) model (Guo

and Wang, 2019d), Gaulke’s unified kinetic model (Gaulke et al., 2016), and the fractal-

-p

like adsorption kinetic models (El Boundati et al., 2019) have also been proposed.

Although these novel models are not frequently used by researchers, they are expected
