Enhanced Lead Sorption by Biochar Derived from Anaerobically Digested Sugarcane Bagasse
Abstract
This study examined the ability of two sugarcane bagasse biochars to remove lead from water. The sorption of lead by biochars made from raw (BC) and anaerobically digested sugarcane bagasse (DBC) was compared with a commercial activated carbon (AC) using batch sorption experiments. DBC was a more effective sorbent of lead from water than AC, and far more effective than BC. The maximum lead sorption capacity of DBC (653.9 mmol kg−1) was about double that of AC (395.3 mmol kg−1) and about twenty times higher than that of BC (31.3 mmol kg−1). Post-sorption characterizations using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) indicated that the enhanced sorption of lead by DBC was at least partly related to a precipitation mechanism, while surface adsorption was the principal mechanism of sorption of lead onto BC. These results suggest that biochars made from bagasse and other agricultural residues may be effective alternative, low-cost environmental sorbents of lead or other metals. In addition, the enhanced lead sorption ability of the digested bagasse biochar introduces the possibility of developing a novel carbon production method to use anaerobic digestion as a means of biological activation to create high-efficiency sorbents.

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.
