This study aimed to evaluate the removal of fluoride from aqueous solutions using clay intercalation and thermochemical modification on corncob biochar. It was found that the adsorption performance of LDH-CCBC500 was 6 times higher than LDH-CCBC250, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 7.24 mg g-1. Chemisorption followed by physisorption processes were involved in the fluoride uptake by LDH-CCBC500.
Exposure to excess fluoride is a controversial public health concern as it can cause dental/skeletal fluorosis as well as renal toxicity. The study intended to evaluate the synergistic interaction of clay intercalation and thermochemical modification on corncob biochar to remove fluoride from aqueous solutions. Layered double hydroxide was assorted with thermally activated (torrefaction and pyrolysis) corncob biochar at 1:1 (w/w) ratio to obtain composites called LDH-CCBC250 and LDH-CCBC500. Physicochemically characterized adsorbents were assessed against the pH (3-9), reaction time (up to 12 h) and initial fluoride concentration (0.5-10 mg L-1) for defluoridation. The porous structure of biochar was found to be richer compared to biocharcoal. The adsorption performance of LDH-CCBC500 was 6-fold higher compared to LDH-CCBC250 signifying the pronounced effect of thermal activation. Fluoride adsorption was pH dependent, and the best pH was in the range of pH 3.5-5.0 and there was no ionic strength dependency. Fluoride uptake by LDH-CCBC500 follows pseudo-second order and Elovich kinetic models, which suggests a chemisorption process followed by physisorption. The most expected way to eliminate fluoride by LDH-CCBC500, which had a maximum adsorption capacity of 7.24 mg g-1, was cooperative chemical adsorption upon the Langmuir and Hills isotherm (r2 = 0.99) parameters. Layered double hydroxide intercalated corncob biochar derived from slow pyrolysis is best performing in acidic waters.
