Error in Table

Text Correction

There was an error in the original article. A correction has been made to the following lines.

Page 1, line 24: The process was “exothermic”.

Page 5, line 24: A bracket was omitted in Equation 4. This should be corrected as follows:

$${\mathrm{q}}_{\mathrm{eq}}=\frac{\left({\mathrm{c}}_0-{(\mathrm{c}}_0-{\mathrm{c}}_{\mathrm{B}}) -{ \mathrm{c}}_{\mathrm{eq}}\right)\times (\frac{{\mathrm{V}}_{\mathrm{P}}}{1000})}{\mathrm{m}}$$

Page 12, lines 11–14: Due to the changed values of the thermodynamic study, the interpretation in the text must be adjusted as follows:

“The free standard enthalpy ΔH₀ of all three sorbents was negative, indicating an exothermic reaction. The standard molar entropy ΔS₀, which was positive for Micro 200 and EcoZeo 20, indicates that the ammonium adsorption is a directional process, decreasing slightly as the temperature increases. However, the negative molar standard entropy of CCP 20 indicates that the sorption process was random.”

Page 12, line 23–25 and page 13, lines 1–5: Due to the changed values of the thermodynamic study, the interpretation in the text must be adjusted as follows:

“Similar to the results published by other researchers (ΔH⁰: −49.384, −22.34, −5.43, −15.38 kJ/mol [14,19,45,46]), which indicate that adsorption of ammonium is exothermic, a slightly exothermic adsorption was found for the CLIs tested in this study (ΔH0 ranging from −4.7 (EcoZeo 20) to −16.9 kJ/mol (CCP 20)). Furthermore, results reported with negative values of ΔS0 (−156.1, −74.42, −43.03, −49.34, J/(K mol) [14,19,45,46]) indicate decreasing ammonium uptake due to increasing randomness. In contrast to this, a strongly directed adsorption process, as indicated by positive ΔS⁰ values ranging between 32.7 (EcoZeo 20) and 17.6 J/(K mol) (Micro 200), was achieved with the investigated materials of this study.”

Page 14, line 29: The adsorption process observed was “exothermic”.
