The kinetic behaviors of the adsorption of gold(III) with macroporous crosslinked polyacrylate (MET) resins from hydrochloric acid solutions were studied by employing the "shallow-bed" technique. The MET resins (corresponding to XAD-7) used in the study vary in structural characteristics. The particle interdiffusion coefficients for every kind of MET resins at four temperatures (25, 35, 45, and 55 degrees C) were calculated from the experimental data, and the kinetic properties were carefully researched. It was found that the experimental results can be interpreted in the light of the concept of the adsorption double layer on the resin/solution interface.
