This comment mainly deals with a mistake of applying pseudo-first-order kinetic model for testing the kinetic behaviors of adsorption. Ó 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
Keywords: Adsorption Kinetic model Pseudo-first-order Pseudo-second-order
Recently Sedghi et al. [1] published the paper entitled above. In Section 3.2.3 ‘‘Adsorption kinetics‘‘, the pseudo-first-order model (Eq. (1)) and pseudo-second-order model (Eq. (2)) are given bellow:
1=Q t ¼ K 1 =Q e t þ 1=Q e
ð1Þ
t=Q t ¼ 1=K 2 Q 2e þ t=Q e 1
ð2Þ 1
where Q e (mg g ) and Q t (mg g ) are the adsorption capacities at equilibrium and at arbitrary time t (min), respectively. K 1 (g mg1 min) and K 2 (g mg1 min) are the pseudo-first-order and pseudosecond-order rate constants, respectively. However, the pseudo-first-order kinetic model, Eq. (1) is not correct. In this equation, the unit of the term K 1 =Q e t does not agree with the units of the other two terms 1=Q t and 1=Q e . Thus, the results and conclusion from adsorption kinetics in the published paper by Sedghi et al. [1] might not be appropriate. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model, Eq. (2) is correct. This equation can be rearranged as 1=Q t ¼ 1=K 2 Q 2e t þ 1=Q e . Clearly, Eqs. (1) and (2) are the same when K 1 ¼ 1=K 2 Q e . In the published paper by Sedghi et al. [1], no references are cited for the adsorption kinetic models. In fact, the linear form of the pseudo-first-order kinetic model should be expressed by the Lagergren equation as follows [2]:

In recent years, use of the wrong pseudo-first-order kinetic model 1=Q t ¼ K 1 =Q e t þ 1=Q e in adsorption systems can also be found in Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry [3], European Polymer Journal [4], Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces [5], Microporous and Mesoporous Materials [6], Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety [7], and Journal of the Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers [8]. This type of mistake could not be occurred if the authors utilized the pseudo-first-order kinetic equation from the original material by Lagergren [2] rather than from secondary materials.
