ABSTRACT: Phytosterols can be recovered from natural resources using molecular distillation, cold crystallization,
which require large energy consumption. Adsorption was considered as a feasible alternative method. In this
study, kinetics, isotherm and thermodynamics of stigmasterol adsorption on styrene-divinylbenzene with two different
functional groups, strong base (SB-R) and weak base (WB-R), were investigated using a model solution of stigmasterol
in n-heptane. Isothermal adsorption experiments were performed in temperature range of 298?313 K and concentration
range of 0.3?6.0 mg/gsol. For both SB-R and WB-R cases, kinetics of adsorption was analysed based on pseudofirst-order and pseudo-second-order models and the results revealed that pseudo-second-order model agreed with the
experimental data much better than pseudo-first-order model. Analysis of isotherm data based on Langmuir, Freundlich
and linear models showed that Freundlich was the best model that could predict behaviour of sterol adsorption for both
SB-R and WB-R cases. In addition, thermodynamics parameters (ΔG, ΔH and ΔS) indicated that the sterol adsorptions
on these adsorbents were spontaneous, exothermic and favourable at low temperature.
