In this study, nZVI-modified low-temperature biochar was used to adsorb Sb(III) from water. The adsorption capacity and speed of nZVI-BC were better than those of BC, and the best adsorption effect was observed for 4nZVI-BC. XRD, FTIR, and XPS characterization demonstrated that the adsorption mechanism predominantly included redox reactions, complexation, and electrostatic interactions. The experiment also showed that 4nZVI-BC had good performance in repeated use for Sb(III) adsorption.
The discharge of tailing leachate and metallurgical wastewater has led to an increasing trend of water pollution. In this study, nZVI-modified low-temperature biochar was used to adsorb Sb(III) from water. The adsorption capacity and speed of nZVI-BC were better than those of BC, and the best adsorption effect was observed for 4nZVI-BC, with 93.60 mgg(-1) maximum adsorptive capacity, which was 208.61% higher than the original BC. The Langmuir and Temkin models were well fitted (R-2 >= 0.99), and PSO was more in line with the 4nZVI-BC adsorption process, indicating that the adsorption was a monolayer physico-chemical adsorption. The combination of XRD, FTIR, and XPS characterization demonstrated that the adsorption mechanism predominantly included redox reactions, complexation, and electrostatic interactions. The thermodynamic results demonstrated that 4nZVI-BC adsorption on Sb(III) was a spontaneous endothermic process. Additionally, the order of the influence of interfering ions on 4nZVI-BC was CO32- > H2PO4- > SO42- > Cl-. After three repeated uses and adsorption-desorption, the adsorption ratio of Sb(III) by 4nZVI-BC was still as high as 90% and 65%, respectively. This study provides a theoretical reference for the exploration and development of Sb(III) removal technologies for aquatic environments.
