Summary of experimental and calculated parameters from the non-linear pseudo 2nd-order kinetic model.

Material Type	q_{e (expected)} (g/kg)	q_{e (calculated)} (g/kg)	K₂	r²
FM	8.94 (± 0.1)^a	11.3 (± 5.2)^a	0.015	> 0.725
Activated Carbon	258 (± 2.0)^b	220 (± 2.5)^b	0.016	> 0.997
CM	264 (± 1.5)^b	191 (± 7.3)^bc	0.026	> 0.988
Chlorophyll	198 (± 2.0)^c	168 (± 4.5)^c	0.016	> 0.964
Carbon-chlorophyll	394 (± 6.0)^d	276 (± 1.5)^d	0.007	> 0.990
CM-chlorophyll	392 (± 8.0)^d	270 (± 14.0)^d	0.010	> 0.993

q_e (expected): experimental adsorption capacity, q_e (calculated): model-derived adsorption capacity, K₂: pseudo 2nd-order kinetic model rate constant (g/kg-hour), and r²: coefficient of determination. Data is an average of triplicate analyses ± standard error (n = 3). Letters indicate a significant difference between groups in the same column (p ≤ 0.05).
