Comment on “Shallow Shell SSTA63 resin: a rapid approach to remediation of hazardous nitrate” by E. Çendik, M. Saygı, Y. K. Recepoğlu and Ö. Arar, Environ. Sci.: Water Res. Technol., 2024, 10, 2765

Abstract

This communication highlights several modeling issues in the paper referenced in the title, including: (1) the improper application of the pseudo-first-order kinetic model, (2) the use of incorrect formulations of the Temkin and Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherm models, and (3) methodological errors in the calculation of thermodynamic parameters. Taken together, these issues call into question the scientific rigor of the study and emphasize the importance of adopting sound modeling practices in sorption research.
