An adsorption study of gelatin was performed from its aqueous solution onto the Fuller's earth surfaces at room temperature. The dynamics of the adsorption process were followed spectrophotometrically; and various adsorption and kinetic parameters, such as adsorption coefficient, rate constants for adsorption and desorption, and penetration rate constant, were evaluated. The adsorption was found to vary sensitively with pH variation and show minima in both the media, that is, in acidic and basic. It was also observed that the presence of anions reversed their impact on adsorbed amount at their high concentration. The effect of cations and temperature were also investigated.
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.
