A Stochastic Model for Adsorption Kinetics by Silvia Rodríguez-Narciso, Juan Antonio Lozano-Álvarez, Rogelio Salinas-Gutiérrez, Netzahualcóyotl Castañeda-Leyva

“…It also allows the estimation of the adsorption parameters, including the maximum removal capacity (qe), the adsorption rate constant (kn), the reaction pseudoorder (n), and the variability σ2. The model fitted produced R2 values similar to those of the nonstochastic versions of the PFO, PSO, and PNO models; however, the obtained values for each parameter indicate that the stochastic model better reproduces the experimental data. …”
