Peat as an Adsorbent for Water Purification in Developing Countries

OBJECTIVES

Aims

To determine the ability of Sphagnum moss peat in adsorbing lead(II) and zinc ion
To investigate the kinetics of adsorption of lead(II) and zinc ions by peat
To investigate the competition between lead(II) and zinc ions on the adsorption sites on peat
To construct and evaluate the performance of a filter with peat as a filtration media in removing lead(II) and zinc ions

Sphagnum moss peat is able to remove lead(II) and zinc ions.
Peat has a higher adsorption capacity for lead(II) ions during competitive adsorption of lead(II) and zinc ions.
The filter is able to remove lead(II) and zinc ions.
