It was found that the Diaion HP-20® gave the highest concentration of squalene, 27.9% with the recovery of >90%, in comparison with that of Amberlite XAD-1180®, DO L-285®, SP207®, Florisil®, while Duolite XAD-761® is much lower. In terms of squalene concentration and recovery, SP825® is as adsorptive as Diaion HP-20, but nevertheless Diaion HP-20 was chosen as the best adsorbent due to its economical price. Equilibrium parameters for squalene adsorption onto Diaion HP-20® were estimated by linear least square and a trial and error procedure of non-linear method using Langmuir, Freundlich and Redlich-Peterson isotherms. A comparison between linear and non-linear method of estimating the isotherm was reported. The best fitting isotherm was Freundlich isotherm in linear method and Langmuir and Redlich - Peterson isotherm equation in the non-linear method. The results show that both linear and non-linear method could be use to obtain the parameters with high coefficient of determination (R2>0.90). Redlich-Peterson isotherm is a special case of Langmuir isotherm when the Redlich-Peterson isotherm constant g was unity.
