Popis: The study mentioned in the title of this comment paper contains some calculations/results that disagree with some basic chemistry concepts. These misleading calculations include (i) both kinetic and isotherm modelling through linear equations, and (ii) calculating the thermodynamic parameters for the adsorption processes. Thus, we run through the correct way to make these calculations. In our opinion, it is very confusing to continue to disseminate erroneous methods as applied in the original paper.
