A novel modified method for the efficient removal of Pb and Cd from wastewater by biochar: Enhanced the ion exchange and precipitation capacity

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to improve the sorption ability of Pb and Cd by promoting the ion exchange and precipitation capacity of biochar. The adsorption performance and mechanisms of Pb and Cd in wastewater using coconut shell biochar modified with magnesium were investigated. After modification, the total adsorption capacity (Qt) of Pb and Cd on Mg-coated biochar (MgBC400) increased by 20 and 30 times compared with the unmodified biochar (BC400), respectively. The removal of Pb and Cd to biochar was attributed to ion exchange (Qe), mineral precipitation (Qp), interaction with oxygen functional groups (OFGs) [(Qf)], and metal-π electron coordination (Qπ). Compared with the BC400, the adsorption capacity of the four fractions of MgBC400 increased especially the ion exchange and precipitation. The Qe values of MgBC400 were almost 49 and 59 times that of BC400 in the adsorption of Pb and Cd, respectively. The Qp values of MgBC400 increased by 214.4 and 81.7 mg/g, respectively. Ion exchange and mineral precipitation dominated the adsorption of Pb and Cd by MgBC400.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
