Abstract
The adsorptive capacity of peat for four classes of dyestuffs has been compared with that of several commonly used adsorbents. The isotherm results are used to determine the relative costs of removing 1 kg of dye for each adsorbent. A series of batch contact time experiments for the adsorption of Acid Blue 25 dye on peat was undertaken, and the results have been used to develop a mathematical model enabling breakthrough curves to be predicted in fixed bed systems. The effects of bed height and dye velocity are studied.
