Abstract
The sorption of lead ions onto peat has been studied. Equilibrium isotherms
have been measured and modelled. Kinetic studies have been carried out in
a batch adsorber to study the effect of initial concentration, agitation an
d temperature. A pseudo-second order kinetic model has been proposed to cor
relate the experimental data.
