The following indicates what the batch experiments included: a sorbent amount of 0.25 g in 100 mL of strontium solution (50 mg/L), a contact time of 80 min, pH 6 and a 20 oC temperature. To study the kinetics of removal process, three equations, i.e. Morris–Weber, Lagergren (pseudo first order) and pseudo second order were used. The sorption data were applied to the Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubnin-Randkovich (D-R) and Temkin models in order to estimate the sorption capacity, intensity and energy. An evaluation of the thermodynamic parameters ΔH, ΔS and ΔG was done. It was found out from thermodynamic parameters that the sorption of strontium onto zeolite was feasible, spontaneous and endothermic under studied conditions.
