Sphagnum 피트모스에서의 Cd(II), Cu(II) Pb(II)의 흡착에 대한 회분식 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과 10-50 mg/L의 Cd(II), Cu(II), Pb(II)이 1.0 g/L의 sphagnum 피트모스에 1시간 내에 흡착되어 효과적으로 제거되었다. 초기농도에 따라 sphagnum 피트모스에 홉착된 Cd(II), Cu(II), Pb(II)의 반응속도는 유사이차 반응모델을 적용하여 설명하였다. 또한 Langmuir 등온흡착으로부터 Cd(II), Cu(II), Pb(II)에 대한 최대흡착량을 계산하여, 각각 33.90, 29.15, 91.74 mg/g가 sphagnum 피트모스에 흡착될 수 있음을 알아내었다. Sphagnum 피트모스가 Cd(II), Cu(II), Pb(II)를 흡착하는데 매우 효과적인 흡착제임을 실험결과를 통해 나타내었다.
Batch adsorption experiments were performed to adsorb cadmium [Cd(II)], copper [Cu(II)], and lead [Pb(II)] onto sphagnum peat moss. According to the results, 10-50 mg/L of Cd(II), Cu(II), and Pb(II) were effectively adsorbed and removed within 1 h by 1.0 g/L of sphagnum peat moss. The amounts of Cd(II), Cu(II), and Pb(II) adsorbed on sphagnum peat moss increased with increasing the initial concentrations. The kinetics for the adsorption of Cd(II), Cu(II), and Pb(II) on sphagnum peat moss was described well using the pseudo-second order model at different initial concentrations. The maximum adsorption capacities calculated from the Langmuir isotherm for Cd(II), Cu(II), and Pb(III) were 33.90, 29.15, and 91.74 mg/g, respectively. Experimental results showed that sphagnum peat moss was a very effective adsorbent on the adsorption of Cd(II), Cu(II), and Pb(II).
