The suitability of LSV to study adsorption kinetics of metal ions was evaluated using Cu2+ adsorption on Amberlite® IR‐120 as a model system. LSV provided results in agreement with conventional batch method with remarkable decreasing on analysis time and reagents consumption, since no adsorbent/adsorbate separation is required. Adsorption curves can be obtained in situ using only one portion of adsorbate solution. LSV provides higher temporal resolution for adsorption curves, which is indispensable to evaluate adsorption mechanisms and the performance of new adsorbent materials. Therefore, LSV not only saves time and reagents but also provides better quality of kinetic adsorption data.
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.
