Clay Materials for Environmental Remediation

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Molecular Science ((GREENCHEMIST))

Abstract

The most important information to understand the adsorption process is the adsorption equilibria . The adsorption equilibria relate the amount of a solute in the surface of adsorbent at equilibrium condition and the equilibrium concentration of the solute in the liquid phase. The adsorption equilibria of a system are described by adsorption isotherm. A number of adsorption equations which originally developed for the gas phase adsorption can be used to represent the liquid phase adsorption equilibria. The theoretical approaches of several adsorption equations are discussed in this chapter. The most widely used isotherm equations for the correlation of adsorption experimental data of hazardous substance—clay mineral systems are the Langmuir and Freundlich equations. Other two and three parameters isotherms such as Dubinin-Radushkevich, Temkin, Toth, Sips, BET, and Redlich-Patterson also have been used to correlate the liquid phase adsorption of various solutes onto clay minerals. The temperature dependent forms of several models and its applicability to describe the adsorption experimental data also given in this chapter. The extension of single component models to multicomponent adsorption system is also discussed. The thermodynamic aspects of the adsorption process also given in this chapter.
