The sorption behavior of 3.18x10 -6 mol l(-1) solution of Tm(III) metal ions onto 7.25 mg l(-1) of 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (PAN) loaded polyurethane foam (PUF) has been investigated at different temperatures i.e. 303 K, 313 K, and 323 K. The maximum equilibration time of sorption was 30 minutes from pH 7.5 buffer solution at all temperatures. The various rate parameters of adsorption process have been investigated. The diffusional activation energy (Delta E-ads) and activation entropy (Delta S-ads) of the system were found to be 22.1 +/- 2.6 kJ mol(-1) and 52.76.2 J mol(-1) K-1 , respectively. The thermodynamic parameters such as enthalpy (Delta H), entropy (Delta S), and Gibbs free energy (Delta G) were calculated and interpreted. The positive value of Delta H and negative value of Delta G indicate that sorption is endothermic and spontaneous in nature, respectively. The adsorption isotherms such as Freundlich, Langmuir, and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm were tested experimentally at different temperatures. The changes in adsorption isotherm constants were discussed. The binding energy constant (b) of Langmuir isotherm increases with temperature. The differential heat of adsorption (Delta H-diff ), entropy of adsorption (Delta S diff ) and adsorption free energy (Delta G ads ) at 313 K were determined and found to be 38 +/- 2 kJ mol(-1) , 249 +/- 3 J mol(-1) K-1 and -40.1 +/- 1.1 kJ mol(-1) , respectively. The stability of sorbed complex and mechanism involved in adsorption process has been discussed using different thermodynamic parameters and sorption free energy.
