Kinetic Studies of Competitive Heavy Metal Adsorption by Sphagnum Moss Peat
Abstract
Much of the work on the adsorption of metals by low-cost, natural biosorbents has focussed on the uptake of single metals. In practice, wastewaters are polluted with multiple metals. In addition, the kinetics of adsorption, which are important in the design of treatment systems, have largely been neglected. This paper describes the results of an examination into the adsorption by peat of copper and nickel from both mono and bi-solute systems. These showed that, in general, pore diffusion appeared to be the rate-controlling step and that the presence of ‘contaminant’ copper ions reduced the binding of nickel. In fact, the best interpretation which could be placed on the data was that the behaviour of nickel was unusual. The results also showed that the kinetics of adsorption were best described by a second-order expression rather than a first-order model.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
