Removal of lead ions from aqueous solution using sphagnum moss peat as adsorbent
Year: 1996
Type: article
Abstract: The use of sphagnum moss peat for the removal of lead from aqueous solution has been studied in batch experiments. Investigations include the effect of pH and temperature, and kinetics of adsorption. The adsorption equilibria data were found to follow Langmuir models. It was found that the efficiency of lead removal using sphagnum moss peat as adsorbent depended very little either on the reaction temperatures (10 to 40°C) or on the initial pH values (4.0 to 6.0). Kinetic data suggested that the adsorption process was endothermic and pore diffusion was not the only rate-determining step.
