Model name Model R2 reference

pH 7.4 pH 5.4
First order ln (1-F) = - kft 0.974 0.780 [53]

Higuchi model F = KHt 0.990 0.984 [52,54]

Korsmeyer model ln F = lnkp + plnt 0.948 0.936 [54]

Hixson-Crowell 1-1-F3 = K1/2t 0.985 0.899 [27]

Weibull ln[-ln(1-F)] = - βln td + βlnt 0.974 0.780 [52,54]

Reciprocal powered time 1F-1=mtb 0.947 0.973 [52]
