Abstract
The two-stage batch sorption design of the sorption of lead ions onto peat has been studied based on a Langmuir isotherm type equation obtained from different contact time studies. A model has been developed to predict the optimised minimum operating time to determine a specified amount of lead removal. The sorption capacity at any contact time has been evaluated with an equation also based on the mathematical form of the Langmuir equation.
