The study explored low-cost biochar derived from locally accessible delonix regia seed and date seeds as bio-adsorbents for heavy metal environmental cleaning. Characterization was carried out using various methods, with experimentation and optimization studies utilizing Design-software 6.0.8. Date seeds derived-biochars exhibited higher efficiency in removing arsenic from synthetic wastewater compared to Delonix regia seeds.
In this study, low-cost biochar as bio-adsorbents derived from locally accessible delonix regia seed and date seeds were explored for heavy metal environmental cleaning. These prepared biochars were characterized by proximate and elemental analyses, CHNS/O analysis, Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy and thermogravitational methods. Bio-sorbent's ability to adsorb arsenic ions in synthetic wastewater was studied and optimized at varying solution pH, adsorbent dose, and starting metal concentrations. Experimentation and optimization studies were also carried out with the help of Design-software 6.0.8. The trials were designed by using response-surface methods, which includes three components and stages of Box-Behnken design. Date seeds derived-biochars eliminated 95% of arsenic from synthetic wastewater, whereas Delonix regia seeds removed 93.8%. The kinetics, isotherms and mechanism of As adsorption were also postulated. This study proposes that these seed's biochars might be employed as an effective, low-cost, and environmentally friendly adsorbent to remove heavy metals from the environment.
