The use of sphagnum moss peat for the removal of lead from aqueous solution has been studied in batch experiments. Investigations include the effect of pH and temperature, and kinetics of adsorption. The adsorption equilibria data were found to follow Langmuir models. It was found that the efficiency of lead removal using sphagnum moss peat as adsorbent depended very little either on the reaction temperatures (10 to 40°C) or on the initial pH values (4.0 to 6.0). Kinetic data suggested that the adsorption process was endothermic and pore diffusion was not the only rate-determining step.read more

Lead removal from aqueous solution by natural and pretreated clinoptilolite: adsorption equilibrium and kinetics.
TL;DR: Kinetic parameters; rate constants, equilibrium adsorption capacities and related coefficients for each kinetic model were evaluated according to relative errors and correlation coefficients and results show that best fitted kinetic models are obtained to be in the order: the pseudo-first order, the Pseudo-second order and Elovich equations.

A critical review on recent advancements of the removal of reactive dyes from dyehouse effluent by ion-exchange adsorbents
TL;DR: It is evident from the literature survey that decolorization by the adsorption shows a great promise for the removal of color from dyehouse effluent and if biomasses want to compete with the established ion-exchange resins and activated carbon, their dye binding capacity will need to be substantially improved.
