Abstract

A non-equilibrium model for adsorption process of single ionic species onto solid adsorbent has been proposed within the framework of irreversible thermodynamics. Based on Ziegler’s principle of maximal rate of dissipation and combining mass balance equation of ionic species, a theoretical formulation of general description for non-equilibrium adsorption was obtained. Fatherly, the dispersion-type energy functions included two Helmholtz free energy and one dissipation rate density were constructed by complementary error function, which introduced into the general form of non-equilibrium model to achieve the specific form. The predicted results of the presented model were compared with the tested kinetics of adsorption processes of Pb2+ and Cd2+ onto Beidellite, which provided a better agreement with the experimental data.
