The uptake of Zn(II)-SCN complex onto polyurethane foam (PUF) has been investigated in detail with respect to different composition and variable concentration of electrolyte, zinc, thiocyanate ions and PUF, and equilibration time. The sorption data followed both Langmuir and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) sorption isotherms over the entire concentration range of zinc investigated whereas Freundlich sorption isotherm is obeyed upto 13.6^.10^-3M concentration. The Langmuir constants Q = 202±7 mmole^.g^-1 and of b = (1.78±0.31.10⁴ dm^3.mole^-1 and of D-R paraneter X _m = 493±1 mmole^.g^-1, b = activity coefficient = -0.028±0.0002 and of sorption energy E = 13.2±0.5 kJ^.mole^-1 and Freundlich constants 1/n = 0.42±0.03 and c _m = 6.47±1.7 mmole^.g^-1 were evaluated. The influence of temperature variation on sorption have yielded DH = -77.5±2.9 kJ^.mole^-1, DS = -5±0.09 J^.mole^-1.K^-1 and DG = -6.67±0.05 kJ …
