Adsorption studies were carried out in column experiments using radiotracers of the studied metals (65Zn and 115Cd). The pH influence and the interference of other ions, such as Na+, Ca2+, Fe3+ and Al3+ on the adsorption process were investigated. The results showed that peat columns are able to retain more than 99% of metal ions in solution in a range of pH from 3,7 to 6,5. Ca2+ and Al3+ ions were the main interferent on adsorption of Zn and Cd ions in solution.477-481openAccesspeatadsorptionzinczinc 65cadmiumcadmium 115ph valueinterfering elementswaste processingwater treatmentArtigo de periódico42310.1590/s0100-40422000000400009
