Abstract
ABSTRACT Batch sorption experiments were carried out for removal of malachite green from aqueous solution using pretreated rice husk. The equilibrium kinetic data were analyzed using pseudo-second-order kinetic model. A comparison between linear and nonlinear methods of estimating the kinetic parameters was carried out. Four pseudo-second-order kinetic linear equations were discussed. The coefficient of determination (r 2) and chi-square (χ2) test were employed as error analysis methods to determine the best-fitting equation. The results show that nonlinear method is a better alternative to obtain the kinetic parameters. In addition, the chi-square test was a better method to determine the best-fitting model.
