Abstract
The adsorption of a dyestuff, Telon Blue (Acid Blue 25) on Fuller's earth and Astrazone Blue onto fired clay has been studied. An intraparticle diffusion rate parameter has been defined characteristic of the rate of diffusion after the early stages of the adsorption. The rate parameter has been determined for a number of variables including adsorbent mass, initial dye concentration, and particle size.
