Tropical sapric peat soil with severe leaching problems and poor hydraulic conductivities was converted into a functional filter media via heat treatment at 500 °C for 3 hours and agglomerated with natural rubber latex. The optimum weight ratio of peat material to rubber latex was 10:1. The peat-rubber agglomerates (PRA) had improved hydraulic con
