3.3 Iodine adsorption kinetic
In order to further explore the kinetic performance of the adsorption
process, the adsorption process curve was fitted as shown in Figure 5-6.
The kinetic model constants and correlation coefficients of iodine
adsorption are shown in Table 2. The results showed that the adsorption
process for shaped silicalite-1 conformed to the pseudo first-order
adsorption kinetic equation,
qt=642.6×(1-e-0.05t)(R2=0.988).
The adsorption processes for shaped silicalite-1 was controlled by the
diffusion steps, manifesting the adsorption rate was proportional to the
difference between the equilibrium adsorption capacity and the
adsorption capacity at certain time.
