Using of “pseudo-second-order model” in adsorption

Abstract

A research paper's contribution exists not only in its originality and creativity but also in its continuity and development for research that follows. However, the author easily ignores it. Citation error and quotation error occurred very frequently in a scientific paper. Numerous researchers use secondary references without knowing the original idea from authors. Sulaymon et al. (Environ Sci Pollut Res 20:3011-3023, 2013) and Spiridon et al. (Environ Sci Pollut Res 20:6367-6381, 2013) presented wrong pseudo-second-order models in Environmental Science and Pollution Research, vol. 20. This comment pointed the errors of the kinetic models and offered information for citing original idea of pseudo-second-order kinetic expression. In order to stop the proliferation of the mistake, it is suggested to cite the original paper for the kinetic model which provided greater accuracy and more details about the kinetic expression.

Removal of pesticide from wastewater: Contact time optimization for a two-stage batch stirred adsorber

“…These papers are about the adsorption of dyes [11][12][13][14][15][16][17], Pb 2+ and Cd 2+ ions [18][19][20][21][22][23], arsenate [24], phosphate [25].…”

“…First of all, mixing increases the adsorption rate, reducing mass transfer resistances. In addition to this, the pressure drop in a stirred plant is very low in comparison to a fixed bed, and the binding and the fouling of adsorbent particles are reduced as well [10,11]. Nevertheless, only a limited number of papers has been so far focused on the design of stirred adsorption systems.…”
