Abstract

In this study, a negative pressure cavitation adsorption method was developed to effi ciently recover paclitaxel from Taxus

chinensis culture supernatants using Diaion HP-20 as an adsorbent. The equilibrium adsorption data were applied to Langmuir,

Freundlich, Dubinin–Radushkevich, and Elovich isotherms, and the Langmuir isotherm was found to be the most

feasible. The kinetic data were in good agreement with the pseudo-second-order model, and intraparticle diff usion played a

dominant role in the adsorption rate of paclitaxel according to the intraparticle diff usion model. The time for the adsorption

to reach equilibrium was shortened by more than eight times at all negative pressures (− 50 to − 200 mmHg) compared to

the conventional adsorption. In addition, as the negative pressure increased, the maximum adsorption capacity, adsorption

rate constant, intraparticle diff usion rate constant, and intraparticle diff usion coeffi cient increased. The values of the thermodynamic

parameters indicated that the adsorption was endothermic and spontaneous. As the negative pressure intensity

increased at a given adsorption capacity (q e = 60–100 mg/g), the isosteric heat of adsorption decreased and the adsorbent

surface became more energetically homogeneous.
