Abstract: A pseudo-second order rate equation describing the kinetics of sorption of divalent metal
ions on to sphagnum moss peat at various initial metal ion concentrations and peat doses has
been developed. The sorption kinetics were followed based on the concentrations of metal
sorbed at various time intervals. Results show that chemical sorption processes might be
rate-limiting for the sorption of divalent metal ions on to peat during agitated batch contact time
experiments. The rate constant, the equilibrium sorption capacity and the initial sorption rate
were calculated. From these parameters, an empirical model for predicting the concentrations of
metal ions sorbed was derived.
