Abstract:
In this study, a novel KOH-activated biochar modified with Mg2Al-LDH with S2- intercalation (KBC-LDH-S) was proposed for simultaneous adsorption of anions and cations. The adsorption capacity, thermodynamic and kinetic studies, effects of initial temperature and solution pH were investigated. Furthermore, the adsorption characteristics in both single and ternary Pb-Cd-Cr systems were investigated. Comparing with bare biochar, the adsorption capacity of KBC-LDH-S was increased by 387.8 % for Cd2+ (190.4 mg/g), 358.1 % for Pb2+ (392.2 mg/g), 1106.0 % for total Cr (170.7 mg/g) and 4602 % for Cr6+ (833.8 mg/g). The S2- intercalation effectively increased the adsorption capacity of CrO42- by 3370 % and promoted simultaneous adsorption. The interlayer anion exchange and redox reaction occurred between CrO42- and S2- to generate Cr3+, and then promoted the adsorption of CrO42-. Besides, the adsorption amount and total removal efficiency first increased and then decreased with the increasing concentration in the Pb-Cd-Cr ternary system.
