PUPAK:Parameter Estimation, and Plot Visualization of Adsorption
Kinetic Models
Contains model fitting functions for linear and non-linear adsorption kinetic and diffusion models. Adsorption kinetics is
used for characterizing the rate of solute adsorption and the
time necessary for the adsorption process. Adsorption kinetics
offers vital information on adsorption rate, adsorbent
performance in response time, and mass transfer processes. In
addition, diffusion models are included in the package as
solute diffusion affects the adsorption kinetic experiments.
This package consists of 20 adsorption and diffusion models,
including Pseudo First Order (PFO), Pseudo Second Order (PSO),
Elovich, and Weber-Morris model (commonly called the
intraparticle model) stated by Plazinski et al. (2009)
<doi:10.1016/j.cis.2009.07.009>. This package also contains a
summary function where the statistical errors of each model are
ranked for a more straightforward determination of the best fit
model.
