Abstract

Equations describing the dependence of parameters of sorption kinetics on the sorbate concentration have been determined. The validity of the equations has been verified for the chemisorption of 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) on bead O-(2-mercaptoethyl)-, O-(3-mercapto-2-hydroxy-propyl)- and O-[2-(4-mercaptophenylsulfonyl)ethyl]cellulose. Isothermic constants obtained from the equations can be calculated also under experimental conditions unfavourable for their determination. These constants may be utilized for characterizing relations between the chemical structure of cellulose derivatives and the sorption process. The equation which provides a complete time-concentration description of sorption is suggested.
