Abstract

The adsorption of Telon Blue (Acid Blue 25) on peat has been investigated. Adsorption parameters for the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were determined and the effects of contact time, initial dye concentration and peat particle size were studied. A series of fixed bed experiments were performed and the results compared with existing design models for adsorption columns.
