This review summarizes the factors and mechanisms affecting the lead removal capability of biochar, as well as the challenges and future prospects.
Industrialization has resulted in the discharge of a certain amount of lead (Pb) from industrial sources causing damage risk to water quality and human health. Adsorption is an effective technique to remove Pb, and biochar has been widely studied owing to its advantages of low cost and high adsorption capacity. This review summarizes the influence of raw materials and modification methods on the adsorption capability of biochar. The adsorption isotherms and kinetics of biochar were summarized, and the main Pb removal mechanisms were studied systematically. In addition, the challenges and future perspectives were discussed comprehensively. It is expected that the review could provide insightful fundamentals for the experimental research and practical applications of biochar.
