NewScientist The Last Word

Rate constant The adsorption rate constant of Pb(II) on acid activated clay (pH ~ 4) is less than the adsorption rate constant of Pb(II) on the raw clay (pH ~ 8). Why? Is there any relation between the surface acidity of the clay and rate constant? Surface area of acid activated clay is more than that of raw clay.
