Abstract: The sorption of two dyes, namely, Basic Blue 69 and Acid Blue 25 onto peat has been
studied in terms of pseudo-second order and first order mechanisms for chemical sorption as
well as an intraparticle diffusion mechanism process. The batch sorption process, based on the
assumption of a pseudo-second order mechanism, has been developed to predict the rate constant
of sorption, the equilibrium capacity and initial sorption rate with the effect of agitation, initial
dye concentration and temperature. An activation energy of sorption has also been evaluated with
the pseudo-second order rate constants. A comparison of the equilibrium sorption capacity
evaluated has been made from pseudo-second order model and Langmuir isotherm.
