Popis: Coal gangue contains numerous metal ions. After rainwater leaching, the metal ions in coal gangue migrate into the surrounding soil, posing significant threats to human health and ecosystems. To remove Cd from contaminated soil surrounding a coal gangue pile area, loofah, oak chips, and corn stalks were used as raw materials to prepare loofah hydrothermal carbon (LH), oak chip hydrothermal carbon (OH), corn stalk hydrothermal carbon (CH). Next, LH, OH, and CH were modified using multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to obtain loofah-, oak-chip-, and corn-stalk-MWCNTs hydrothermal carbon composites (LMH, OMH, and CMH). The loofah hydrothermal carbon with excellent pore structure, specific surface area and pore capacity was selected, and the loading of MWCNTs was varied to give it better adsorption performance.
