The adsorption behavior of acetic acid on zeolite 13X was studied at 25°C, 35°C and 45°C in a batch experiment. Experimental data were applied to pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order adsorption kinetic models, and tested against Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. Thermodynamic parameters (ΔG, ΔH and ΔS) of adsorption were also calculated. The data fit the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Freundlich isotherm well. The calculated values of ΔG, ΔH and ΔS indicate that the adsorption is spontaneous and endothermic; it causes an increased extent of randomness at the solid-solution interface.
