Experiments were conducted to determine the kinetic isotherm adsorption curves of Pb^2+,Cd^2+and Zn^2+ions in vermiculite-aqueous solutions. The results obtained from the tests indicate that vermiculite removed significant amounts of the metal ions from the aqueous solution. Based on the thermodynamic principle that the standard chemical potentials of the components of physiochemical reactions are constant under isothermal conditions,equations were derived for calculating the kinetic change in the chemical potential of the reaction. The esta...
