Corrigendum

Corrigendum to Equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic studies of Acid Orange 52 dye biosorption by Paulownia tomentosa Steud. leaf powder as a low-cost natural biosorbent [Bioresour. Technol. 101 (2010) 51375143]

The authors regret that there were some errors in our above paper because of inadvertent mistakes in calculations of equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic data. The corrected gures (Figs. 36) and tables (Tables 14) presenting the recalculated data are given in this corrigendum. The authors apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused.

1. Equilibrium modeling The experimental equilibrium data could be well interpreted by the Langmuir isotherm with maximum sorption capacity of 35.33 mg g1. This value is signicantly higher than that reported before. The corrected data for equilibrium modeling are shown in Table 1 and Fig. 3.

2. Kinetic modeling The kinetic data were well represented by the pseudo-second order kinetic model. The kinetic results are not changed signicantly. The revised data for kinetic modeling are depicted in Table 2 and Figs. 4 and 5.

where Kc states the equilibrium constant (qe/Ce). The corrected thermodynamic data are given in Tables 3 and 4 and Fig. 6. Thermodynamic studies indicated that the biosorption process was spontaneous. The value of DG is changed signicantly.
