The adsorption behavior of p-aminobenzoic acid and o-aminobenzoic acid onto the di erent polymeric adsorbents was systematically
investigated as a function of the solution concentration and temperature. Experimental results indicated that the equilibrium adsorption
data of the four polymeric adsorbents fitted well in the Freundlich isotherm. The adsorption capacity of multi-functional polymeric
adsorbent NJ-99 was the highest, which might be attributed to the strong hydrogen-bonding interaction between the amino groups on
the resin and the carboxyl group of aminobenzoic acid. The adsorption capacity of o-aminobenzoic acid onto any adsorbent was higher
than p-aminobenzoic acid. Thermodynamic studies suggested the exothermic, spontaneous physical adsorption process. Adsorption
kinetics results showed that the adsorption followed the pseudo-second-order kinetics model and the intraparticle mass transfer process
was the rate-controlling step.
