Abstract
Adsorption is an effective method for removing heavy metals from acid mine drainage (AMD), but its efficiency is often limited by the high concentration of sulfate. In this study, a Fe/Mn-modified rapeseed straw biochar (FMBC60) was synthesized by optimizing Fe/Mn ratios and pyrolysis conditions. Under acidic conditions (pH = 4, [SO42-] = 300 mg/L), FMBC60 achieved removal efficiencies of 98.7 % and 84.6 % for Pb2+ and Cd2+ with maximum adsorption capacities of 180.7 and 83.4 mg/g, respectively. At a high sulfate concentration of 1000 mg/L, FMBC60 maintained high metal removal efficiencies. Mechanistic analyses revealed that the adsorption of the heavy metals mainly occurred through surface complexation with Fe/Mn oxides, precipitation of PbCO3 and CdCO3, and cation-π interactions, with Pb2+ exhibiting superior competitive adsorption capacity. FMBC60 also exhibited excellent recyclability after four cycles. Thus, FMBC60 is a promising adsorption material for acid mine drainage remediation.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis (JAAP) is devoted to the publication of papers dealing with innovative applications of pyrolysis processes, the characterization of products related to pyrolysis reactions, and investigations of reaction mechanism. To be considered by JAAP, a manuscript should present significant progress in these topics. The novelty must be satisfactorily argued in the cover letter. A manuscript with a cover letter to the editor not addressing the novelty is likely to be rejected without review.
