The MgO modified biochar derived from crofton weed (MBCW600) showed high adsorption capacities for Pb2+ and Cd2+ in wastewater, with Pb2+ being more easily captured than Cd2+ in a multimetal system. The study also highlighted the importance of Mg2+ in the adsorption process. Additionally, the exhausted MBCW600 could be effectively regenerated and showed potential for future applications in wastewater treatment containing heavy metals.
The adsorption performance and mechanisms of Pb2+ and Cd2+ in wastewater using MgO modified biochar derived from crofton weed (MBCW600) are investigated. The Pb2+ and Cd2+ adsorption capacities of MBCW600 by the Hill model reach 384.08 mg/g and 207.02 mg/g, respectively, which is larger than that of original biochar. Pb2+ could be more easily captured by MBCW600 compared to Cd2+ in the multimetal system. Mg2+ contributes to Pb2+ and Cd2+ adsorption among coexisting cations. The exhausted MBCW600 could be well regenerated by simple method after use. The adsorption mechanism study indicates that Pb2+ and Cd2+ removal are primary contributed to mineral precipitation and ion exchange. The effective treatment volumes of Pb2+ and Cd2+ wastewater achieve 3050 mL and 2150 mL in the fixed-bed column experiment, respectively. Therefore, MBCW600 presents remarkable adsorption capability, excellent recoverability and large throughput, which shows the potential application in future treatment of wastewater containing heavy metal.
