Abstract: The sorption of two dyes, namely, Basic Red 22 and Acid Red 114 onto pith has been
studied in terms of pseudo-second-order, pseudo-first-order sorption and intraparticle diffusion
processes thus comparing chemical sorption and diffusion sorption processes. The
pseudo-second-order model. based on the assumption of a pseudo-second-order mechanism, has
been developed to predict the rate constant of sorption, the equilibrium capacity and initial
sorption rate as a function of the effect of initial dye concentration, pith particle size, pith dose
and temperature.
