Title: A study on the adsorption of gold(III) with macroporous crosslinked polyacrylate MET resins. II Particle diffusion process

Journal Article · · Separation Science and Technology

The kinetic behaviors of the adsorption of gold(III) with macroporous cross-linked polyacrylate (MET) resins from hydrochloric acid solutions were studied by employing the {open_quotes}shallow-bed{close_quotes} technique. The MET resins (corresponding to XAD-7) used in the study vary in structural characteristics. The particle inter-diffusion coefficients for every kind of MET resins at four temperatures (25, 35, 45, and 55{degrees}C) were calculated from the experimental data, and the kinetic properties were carefully researched. It was found that the experimental results can be interpreted in the light of the concept of the adsorption double layer on the resin/solution interface.
