Kinetic and isotherm studies of nickel and cadmium ions adsorption onto Clay-Chitosan composite by Rachid Et-Tanteny, Ibrahim Allaoui, Imad Manssouri, Bouchta El Amrani, Khalid Draoui

“…The obtained results revealed that the maximum adsorbed quantities obtained were 153.086 mg/g for Ni (II) and 61.093 mg/g for Cd (II), demonstrating the excellent performance of the composite. Nonlinear modeling of the kinetic and isotherm data demonstrated that the pseudo second order kinetic model best describes the adsorption kinetics of R2 = 0.994 for Cd (II) and R2 = 0.999 for Ni (II), with a rapid equilibrium time reached in 60 min. …”
