pattern. According to the model assumptions, sorbate
occupies one place, and the equation describing reaction
rate allows simultaneous occurrence of adsorption and
desorption processes. The model used is expressed as
Eq. (1),

where h—states for the degree of surface coverage that
is, qq1

dt ¼ 0, metal
biosorption isotherm can be expressed by Langmuir
equation, shown below,

In the present study, the parameter b was determined
from kinetic experiments and the parameter qmax from
isotherm studies. This approach enabled to evaluate a
single model parameter at a time.
