ADSORPTION KINETICS
KINETIC MODELS Pseudo–First Order Equation ln(qe – qt) = ln qe – k1t
The values of qe and k1 are obtained by
plotting a graph of ln(qe– qt) Vs t.
Pseudo–Second Order Equation t / qt = 1 / ( k2 qe
2) + t / qe
The values of k2 and qe can be determined by plotting t / qt Vs t.

ISOTHERM MODELS Langmuir model Ce/qe = 1/Xmb + Ce/Xm
Hence a plot of Ce/qe Vs Ce should be a straight line with a slope 1/Xm and intercept as 1/Xmb.
Freundlich model qe = Kf Ce (1/n)
or lnqe = lnKf + 1/n lnCe
A plot of lnqe Vs lnCe should be a straight line with a slope 1/n and intercept lnKf.

The thermodynamic properties such as standard Gibbs free energy (∆Go), standard enthalpy change(∆Ho) and standard entropy change (∆So) were calculated using the following equation.
∆Go = -RT ln Kc
ln Kc = (CBe/CAe)
The standard enthalpy (∆H˚) and entropy (∆S˚) of adsorption were determined from the Van’t Hoff equation,
ln Kc = (∆S˚ /R) – (∆H˚ / RT)

THERMODYNAMIC PARAMETERS FOR THE ADSORPTION OF COPPER ION
CONCLUSION
The Hevea brasiliensis saw dust which is an agricultural waste was found to be a very good adsorbent for the removal of copper from aqueous solution.
The surface morphology involved in all the adsorbents were determined by analyzing through SEM. Adsorption of Cu (II) on RHB and ACHB as been shown to depend significantly on the contact time, pH, initial concentration, dosage and temperature.
Among the kinetic models tested, the adsorption kinetics was best described by the pseudo second order equation.
The adsorption process is endothermic for RHB and exothermic for ACHB. Electrostatic attraction in addition to ion-exchange might be involved in the adsorption of copper ions onto MHB which showed better adsorption capacity when compared to ACHB, CAC and RHB.
The study revealed that this adsorbent is inexpensive, indigenous, easily available material and it can be used for the removal of copper in industrial effluents.
Finally, we can conclude that ACH can be used as a low cost alternate adsorbent for the removal of metal-containing effluents.
