Biomass-derived biochar has enormous potential for sustainable and low-cost treatment of lead-contained wastewater. In this study, corncob and cow dung-derived biochar were prepared. The increase in pyrolysis temperature could improve the porous structures, surface area, functional groups and alkalinity, and further provide a higher Pb2+ capacity in both biochars. Cow dung biochar performed better than corncob for its higher inorganic mineral content and more alkaline surface. Among them, CDB-600 performed the Langmuir maximum capacity of 357.1 mg/g, with a high surface area of 144.3 m2/g; ion exchange and precipitate were the main adsorption mechanisms. After further MgO modification, the M-CDB displayed a high surface area of 166 m2/g, and ion exchangeability and precipitate-promoting effects were improved. M-CDB performed a Langmuir maximum capacity of 833.3 mg/g. The pHpzc was found to be 10 and the adsorbents portray a very good Pb2+ adsorption selectivity among coexisting ions in the solution. The adsorption process was found to be endothermic, feasible, spontaneous and chemisorption. The fixed lead on CDB-600 was stable in water. The immobilized lead could be desorbed by acid wash. CDB-600 performed better in terms of sustainability in use, which could support its continuous application ability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
