Rectifying inaccuracies in adsorption modeling. Comment on ?amino- and sulfur-containing POSS for highly efficient and selective extraction of platinum group elements from acidic solution?

In this critique, we address multiple shortcomings identified in a recent article published in this journal concerning the adsorption of Pd(II) and Pt(IV) ions from acidic solutions using a novel nanoadsorbent. The identified issues encompass erroneous model equations, unverified adsorption mechanis...

Description
Summary:In this critique, we address multiple shortcomings identified in a recent article published in this journal concerning the adsorption of Pd(II) and Pt(IV) ions from acidic solutions using a novel nanoadsorbent. The identified issues encompass erroneous model equations, unverified adsorption mechanisms, inappropriate application of simplified models, incorrect parameter units, and flawed thermodynamic parameters. ? 2024 Elsevier Ltd
