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. © 1997 SCI.
