| Popis: | The objective of the study was to investigate the ability of biochars prepared under different temperatures (400 °C and 600 °C) from the residue of biogas production (RBP) for the adsorption of cadmium (Cd(II)) and nickel (Ni(II)) ions from aqueous solution. Furthermore, the RBP biochars adsorption capacity was compared with adsorption capacity of biochar produced from wheat straw at 600 °C (BCS600). The kinetics of the adsorption, the sorption isotherms, the influence of solution pH and the interfering ions (chlorides and nitrates) were investigated. The desorption of Cd(II) and Ni(II) by hydrochloric and nitric acid from biochars was also investigated. The different types of feedstock used for biochar (BC) preparation (RBP and biomass) determined the physico-chemical properties of biochars and hence their adsorption abilities. Generally, biochars produced from RBPs (regardless of temperature) had the greater capacity to adsorb Cd(II) and Ni(II) than the biochar produced from wheat straw. Of the tested models (Freundlich and Langmuir), the Langmuir model was demonstrated to be the best to describe the sorption of Cd(II) and Ni(II). For the kinetic study, the adsorption process proceeded the fastest for BCU400 than BCU600. Furthermore, BCU600 was the most resistant to the influence of interfering ions on adsorption. For the desorption study, BCU400 was characterized by the highest reproducibility of the surface. The comparison of the results obtained in each adsorption step between RBP biochars and BCS600 suggested that the residue from biogas production could be successfully applied for the removal of Cd(II) and Ni(II) ions from aqueous solutions. |
