solid-liquid interface. Experimental data were evaluated to find out kinetic characteristics and found that the sorption of Au(III) followed pseudo-second order model and the sorption of Ag(I) followed pseudo-first order model. The sorption capacity increased with the increase in temperature and reached maximum value at 323 K and 328 K for Au(III) and Ag(I). The maximum sorption capacity of PSTM-3T for Au(III) and Ag(I) evaluated 333 and 129 mg/g.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
