Abstract
- The chitosan–EDTA modified magnetic biochar (E–CMBC) was successfully used as a novel adsorbent to remove heavy metals. The adsorption behaviour and mechanisms of E–CMBC to Cd<superscript>2+</superscript>, Cu<superscript>2+</superscript> and Ni<superscript>2+</superscript> were performed in single and binary system in aqueous solutions. In single–metal system, the adsorption process of Cd<superscript>2+</superscript>, Cu<superscript>2+</superscript> and Ni<superscript>2+</superscript> on E–CMBC fitted well with the Avrami fractional–order kinetics model and the Langmuir isotherm model. The measured maximum adsorption capacities were 61.08 mg g<superscript>−1</superscript>, 48.36 mg g<superscript>−</superscript><superscript>1</superscript> and 41.17 mg g<superscript>−</superscript><superscript>1</superscript> for Cd<superscript>2+</superscript>, Cu<superscript>2+</superscript> and Ni<superscript>2+</superscript>, respectively. In binary–metal system, coexisting ions have obvious competitive adsorption behaviour on E–CMBC when the concentration of heavy meal beyond 20 mg L<superscript>−1</superscript>. The maximum adsorption capacities of the heavy metals were found to be lower than that in single–metal system. The order of the competitive adsorption ability was Cu<superscript>2+</superscript> > Ni<superscript>2+</superscript> > Cd<superscript>2+</superscript>. Interestingly, in Cd<superscript>2+</superscript>–Cu<superscript>2+</superscript> system the earlier adsorbed Cd<superscript>2+</superscript> could be completely replaced by Cu<superscript>2+</superscript> from the solution. Different competitive adsorption ability of those heavy metal were due to the characteristics of heavy metal and resultant affinity of the adsorption sites on E–CMBC. The adsorption mechanism indicated that chemical adsorption played a dominating role. Therefore, E–CMBC could be a potential adsorbent for wastewater treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
