The aim of the research was to study the gas transfer coefficient (KLa) using a cascade aerator combined with zeolite on the removal of Fe in peat water by using variations in contact time of 120 minutes, 150 minutes, 180 minutes and the particle size of zeolite 1/4” (6.30 mm), 8 mesh. (2.36mm). The Fe content before the aeration process was 1.351 mg/L. The results showed that the highest gas transfer coefficient (KLa) occurred at a contact time of 120 minutes using 8 mesh size zeolite (2.36 mm) which was 0.1689/minute with an efficiency of Fe removal reaching 78.24%.
