Equilibrium parameters for the sorption of copper, cadmium and zinc ions onto peat

This paper details a study into the sorption of three divalent metal ions-namely cadmium, copper and zinc-onto peat, in single component, binary and ternary systems. The Langmuir Freundlich and Redlich-Peterson equilibrium isotherms for each metal ion in each system have been determined and correlated. The Langmuir isotherms have been found to have the highest regression correlation coefficients
