“…As for the BWS model itself, it has a good fitting behavior and more implicitly, it conveys such quality data (i.e. biosorption/bioaccumulation capacity nearest to experimental value, q e(BWS) , and the time of half reaction, τ nBWS,α ) which are very important aimed at industrial treatment design purposes (Ncibi et al, 2014). On the basis of correlation coefficient (R, R 2 and ̅ R 2 ) and error values (SSE, Reduced χ 2 and Root-MSE), it can be concluded that other kinetic models, such as Avrami, mixed 1,2 order, modified second order, Ritchie second order, Fractal-like pseudo first order, Fractal-like pseudo second order, Fractal-like exponential, and Fractal-like mixed 1,2 order exhibited good fitting of biosorption/ bioaccumulation kinetic data for both As(III) and As(V) on immobilized bacterial cells.…”
