Abstract:
      Based on experimental data and classical Langmuir adsorption isotherm equation, transforming concept of traditional equilibrium adsorption capacity to equilibrium adsorption area and introducing concept of fictitious heavy metal ion and partition coefficient of equilibrium adsorption area, modified semi-experienced adsorption isotherm equation and adsorption data analysis method were successfully set up, which fit for analyzing multivariate adsorption process of heavy metal ions on zeolite with satisfactory results. According to hypothesis and fitting results, it is indicated that the maximum adsorption area sequence in unitary adsorption system is Ni>Cu>Pb>Cd. In any multivariate adsorption system, the total maximum adsorption area is lower than sum of maximum adsorption area of each heavy metal in unitary adsorption systems. Cu always occupies a prominent position among all heavy metals no matter high-low of initial concentration and keep steady with increase of initial concentration. Competitive edge of Pb is shown under the condition of high initial concentration and rises with increase of initial concentration. Relatively, competitive edges of Cd and Ni are obvious when the initial concentration is low and gradually drop with increase of initial concentration.
