Abstract
Adsorption rates of Acid Blue 25 onto peat in a batch adsorption system have been studied. A two-resistance mass transfer model based on film resistance and homogeneous solid-phase diffusion has been presented. The experimental results and theoretical model output are in close agreement over a vast range of operating conditions using a single external mass transfer coefficient and a single effective solid diffusivity for a peat size range.
