Biochars derived from rotten sugarcane bagasse show enhanced adsorption capacity for heavy metal ions and high efficiency in treating wastewater containing multiple metal ions.
Background: Bio-waste derived biochars represent a group of low-cost and effective materials to achieve the removal of the heavy metal ions from polluted water bodies. Methods: Rotten sugarcane bagasse was firstly adopted as raw material to prepare low cost biochars based on a molten salt method for the heavy metal ion removal. Significant findings: The optimized rotten sugarcane bagasse derived biochars (RB-C) demonstrates maximum Pb2+ adsorption capacity of 339 mg g(-1), which is greatly enhanced from the bio-chars prepared from fresh bagasse (172 mg g(-1)). In addition, the RB-C shows high efficiency for the treatment of the simulated wastewater with multiple metal ions. Based on the mechanism studies, these improved absorption performances are possibly derived from the surface physical sorption and static electron interaction due to the enhanced specific surface area (391.9 m 2 g(-1)), increased pore diameter (20.9 nm) and well-developed hierarchical porous structure. Moreover, the RB-C exhibits rich mineral contents, which could further enhance the adsorption performances taking advantage of the ion exchange. In addition, the tech-economic assessment indicated the cost of RB-C ($ 2.39 kg(-1)) is comparable with the commercial active carbon, which endows rotten bagasse a abundant raw material to prepare low cost adsorbent with high performance to remove heavy metal ions from aquatic environment.
