In thermodynamic study, adsorption isotherm and free energy change (⊿G°) were detected and calculated, respectively. Influence of ionic strength on adsorbance was investigated. Kinetic studies were carried out with a series of XO concentration under different temperatures, and the data were simulated with pseudo first-order and second-order kinetic model, respectively. Results illustrate: adsorption of EG for XO is a spontaneous process, and adsorption isotherm is type II;equilibrium adsorbance increases with the increase of ionic strength. Kinetic studies show that the kinetic data can be delineated by pseudo second-order kinetic model. Initial adsorption rate increases with the increase of temperature. Adsorption activation energy is less than 20 kJ/mol;physical adsorption is the major mode of the overall adsorption process.展开更多
