J Radioanal Nucl Chem (2010) 285:407 DOI 10.1007/s10967-010-0582-9 Wangsuo Wu Published online: 9 May 2010 ´ ´ Ó Akademiai Kiado, Budapest, Hungary 2010 Dear Prof. Tibor Braun We have received the comments of Y. S. Ho on using of pseudo-second-order rate equation in our paper. Here, we apologize sincerely for our inaccurate citation in the article published in Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry, Volume 283. And we also appreciate the comments by Prof. Y. S. Ho on our article. Now, we agree with the comments. The correct pseudo-second-order rate equation could be described [1–4]: t 1 t ¼ þ qt kq2 qe e According this equation, the k and qe are 4.59 g mg-1 h-1 and 0.91 mg g-1, respectively.
