Last data updates: 26 January 2016 Ho, Y.S. (2006), Second-order kinetic model for the sorption of cadmium onto tree fern: A comparison of linear and non-linear methods. Water Research, 40 (1), 119-125. Document type: Article Language: English Cited references: 21 Times cited: 431 Times self cited: 17 Abstract: A comparison was made of the linear least-squares method and a trial-and-error nonlinear method of the widely used pseudo-second-order kinetic model for the sorption of cadmium onto ground-up tree fern. Four pseudo-second-order kinetic linear equations are discussed. Kinetic parameters obtained from the four kinetic linear equations using the linear method differed but they were the same when using the non-linear method. A type 1 pseudo-second-order linear kinetic model has the highest coefficient of determination. Results show that the non-linear method may be a better way to obtain the desired parameters.
