Peat Characterization and Uptake of Nickel (II) and Cobalt (II) in a Saprist Peat Column by E.S. Asapo, C.A. Coles

“…The saprist peat was studied as an Ni 2+ and Co 2+ adsorbent in a vertical downflow fixed-bed column and at the end of each column experiment, metal ions in the upper layer of the peat were desorbed with HCl. The metal sorption capacity of the saprist peat increased with decreasing flow rate and overall the sorption capacity of Ni 2+ was two times greater than the sorption capacity of Co 2+ . …”
