Experimental data obtained at different temperatures for the adsorption of each dyestuff by chitin were applied to pseudo first-order, pseudo second-order and Weber-Morris equations, and the rate constants of first-order adsorption (k(1)), the rate constants of second-order adsorption (k(2)) and pore diffusion-rate constants (k(p)) at these temperatures were calculated, respectively. In addition, the adsorption isotherms of each dyestuff by chitin were also determined at different temperatures. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
