Novel kinetic model of the removal of divalent heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions by natural clinoptilolite
Abstract
Removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions using zeolites is widely described by pseudo-second order kinetics although this model may not be valid under all conditions. In this work, we have extended approaches used for derivation of this model in order to develop a novel kinetic model that is related to the ion exchange mechanism underlying sorption of metal ions in zeolites. The novel model assumed two reversible steps, i.e. release of sodium ions from the zeolite lattice followed by bonding of the metal ion. The model was applied to experimental results of Cu(II) sorption by natural clinoptilolite-rich zeolitic tuff at different initial concentrations and temperatures and then validated by predictions of ion exchange kinetics of other divalent heavy metal ions (i.e. Mn(II), Zn(II) and Pb(II)). Model predictions were in excellent agreements with experimental data for all investigated systems. In regard to the proposed mechanism, modeling results implied that the sodium ion release rate was constant for all investigated metals while the overall rate was mainly determined by the rate of heavy metal ion bonding to the lattice. In addition, prediction capabilities of the novel model were demonstrated requiring one experimentally determined parameter, only.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
