Different activated carbon materials are prepared from a series of solid wastes (sawdust, acrylic fabric, tire powder and rice husk) by combination of the KOH activation method and steam activation method. The influences of several parameters such as pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage and temperature on adsorption performance of Pb2+ with those different carbon adsorbents are investigated. The results demonstrate that C-rice husk performance well in the adsorption process. In the following, the Crice husk is used to explain the adsorption mechanismof Pb2+ by SEM-EDS, FT-IR and XPS. The results illustrate that the surface oxygen-containing functional groups such as carboxyl, lactone group, phenolic hydroxyl and other alkaline metal ions like Na+ and K+ have significant effect on the adsorption process. A reasonable mechanism of Pb2+ adsorption is proposed that the ion exchange play key roles in the adsorption process. In addition, the effects of Cu2+, Zn2+ on the Pb2+ adsorption capacity with the four carbon adsorbents are also studied and the results demonstrate that other heavy metals play positive effects on the adsorption of Pb2+.
