Abstract
The contamination of environmental sites due to the presence of persistent species represents an important issue to be tackled. In particular, the presence of high levels of metals in soil and surface water is more frequent. One of the metals that sometimes exceeds the permissible limit set by regulatory authorities is copper. For instance, copper-based fungicides are widely used in viticulture. However, copper ions remain in soil and can enter the food chain, posing threats to human health and environmental safety. Although the rapid detection of copper ions using portable sensors is effective in enhancing early warning, it sometimes solves only half of the problem as remediation is not considered. In this paper, we present a novel integrated/portable approach that merges the remediation and sensing of metals by proposing a remediate-and-sense concept. In order to realize this concept, alginate beads were coupled with printed electrochemical strips for on-site copper detection. Within the same architecture, alginate beads were used to remove copper ions from the soil, and printed electrochemical strips were used to evaluate the efficacy of remediation at the point of need. The concept was applied towards soil containing copper ions at the parts per billion level; with few alginate beads and in the absence of additional species, copper ions were quantitatively removed from the matrix; and 3D printing allowed us to combine the printed strips and spheres within a unique tool. The architecture was optimized and the results were compared to inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) measurements with a recovery percentage of 90%-110%. It should be noted that this novel portable approach may be applied to other pollutants, opening new possibilities for integrated remediation and sensing.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 272:132725. [PMID: 38821303 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132725] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2023] [Revised: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/02/2024]
Abstract
Environmental and human health problems caused by Pb pollution have attracted much attention, and solidification and stabilization are effective means for its remediation. Improving the ability of biochar to remediate heavy metals through modification is the focus of current biochar research. This study used calcium-alginate gel (GB) and Fe3+ (magnetic) to encapsulate and improve sludge biochar (SB), and explored the adsorption behavior and passivation mechanism of Pb2+ on it from outside to inside. The magnetic-biochar (MB) in magnetic-biochar-gel microspheres (MBGB) showed a homogeneous dispersion and part of the Fe ion was detached from the MB into the three-dimensional pores of the gel. The results of kinetic, isothermal and pH adsorption experiments showed that the MBGB has 108.4 % and 200 % higher Pb2+ adsorption capacity and rate than SB and can be applied to pH 3-9. The adsorption of Pb2+ by MBGB is a multilayer adsorption with both physical and chemical mechanisms. Mineralogical and electrochemical results demonstrate that the cross-linking of the gel with magnetic-biochar (MB) can provide a directional diffusion channel for Pb2+ from the outside to the inside. The electron transfer rate of MBGB was significantly higher than that of SB (222.2 %) after the reaction. The dissolved cations and electrons on the MB guide Pb2+ from the MBGB surface to the internal MB quickly via accelerating the electron transfer and migration rate between Pb2+ and MB. Subsequently, the abundance of PO43- on the MB ensures stable mineral precipitation (Pyromorphite). Moreover, four-step extraction analysis confirmed that most of Pb2+ in MBGB was stable (36.2 % acid-soluble and 47.6 % non-bioavailable). Meanwhile, the Pb adsorption efficiency of MBGB was still >93.0 % after three cycles of adsorption-desorption. Excellent reuse performance and stability guarantee the environmental security of MBGB. The results of the study provide theoretical support for the efficient treatment of Pb2+ polluted water assisted by gel materials.

Abstract
A novel composite hydrogel (AM/CMC/B) synthesized from peanut shell biochar effectively adsorbs heavy metal Cd in water and reduces its toxicity to tobacco seedlings. The hydrogel, prepared via hydrothermal polymerization using acrylamide (AM), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and peanut shell biochar (B), exhibited a maximum adsorption capacity of 164.83 mg g-1 for Cd2+ and followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. In pot experiments, the application of exogenous AM/CMC/B mitigated the inhibitory effects of Cd-contaminated soil on tobacco seedling growth. Addition of 10 mg kg-1 Cd resulted in improved phenotype, root system development, enhanced photosynthetic capacity, stomatal conductance (Gs), stomatal number, and increased antioxidant activity while reducing MDA content and leaf cell death. These findings highlight the potential of AM/CMC/B as an environmentally friendly adsorbent for Cd removal from water and for reducing Cd stress toxicity in tobacco and other plants.

Abstract
This work aimed to develop innovative material by combining properties of magnetic-biochar (derived from peanut shells) and hydrogel bead (MBA-bead) and apply it for adsorbing Cu2+ in water. MBA-bead was synthesized by physical cross-linking methods. Results indicated that MBA-bead contained ∼90% water. The diameter of each spherical MBA-bead was approximately 3 mm (wet form) and 2 mm in (dried form). Its specific surface area (262.4 m2/g) and total pore volume (0.751 cm3/g) were obtained from nitrogen adsorption at 77K. X-ray diffraction data confirmed Fe3O4 presented in magnetic-biochar and MBA-bead. Its Langmuir maximum adsorption capacity for Cu2+ was 234.1 mg/g (30 °C and pHeq 5.0). The change in standard enthalpy (ΔH°) of the adsorption was 44.30 kJ/mol (dominant physical adsorption). Primary adsorption mechanisms were complexation, ion exchange, and Van der Waals force. Laden MBA-bead can be reused several cycles after desorbing with NaOH or HCl. The cost was estimated for producing PS-biochar (0.091 US$/kg), magnetic-biochar (0.303-0.892 US$/kg), and MBA-bead (1.369-3.865 US$/kg). MBA-bead can serve as an excellent adsorbent for removing Cu2+ from water.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023:10.1007/s11356-023-27653-3.

Abstract
Biochar is regarded as an effective adsorbent for heavy metal pollution treatment, and functional optimization is still needed to improve its performance. We created raw biochar (BC and BP) from corn straw and pine sawdust, which were modified to produce sulfhydryl-modified biochar (MBC and MBP). Isothermal adsorption experiments and adsorption kinetics experiments as well as the related model fitting were performed to evaluate the adsorption performance of biochar on Hg(II). According to the results of the Langmuir model fitting, the maximum adsorption capacities of sulfhydryl-modified biochar were 193.05 mg/g (MBC) and 178.04 mg/g (MBP), respectively, which were approximately 1.6 times higher than the raw biochar. The results showed that adding sulfhydryl groups to biochar can improve its adsorption performance. The prompt effect resulted from the sulfhydryl modification providing additional functional groups and enhanced chemisorption and physical adsorption properties.

Abstract
In this study, a novel composite bead (MPB-ALG) was prepared by encapsulating H2O2 modified peanut shell-derived biochar (MPB) into alginate matrix through a facile method. The structure and properties of prepared materials were characterized using FTIR, BET, SEM, and XPS. Batch adsorption experiments were performed to compare Cu(II) adsorption performance of MPB, plain alginate beads (ALG) and MPB-ALG. The effect parameters of the components, solution pH, contact time, initial concentration and coexisting ions were studied systematically. The results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity of the optimized MPB-ALG-1 (MPB/alginate = 1:1 w/w%) was 117.4 mg g-1 at pH 5, which was much higher than that of MPB (37.4 mg g-1). The adsorption kinetics and isotherms data of Cu(II) on MPB-ALG-1 were well described by Elovich kinetic model and Freundlich adsorption isotherm. Compared with plain ALG beads, MPB-ALG-1 exhibited better reusability and anti-interference of coexisting ions. Finally, the adsorption mechanisms of Cu(II) on MPB-ALG-1 beads were revealed by FTIR and XPS analysis. The experimental results demonstrated that MPB-ALG-1 beads can be used as an environmentally friendly and efficient adsorbent for the removal of Cu(II) from wastewater.

Abstract
Magnetic nano-chitosan (MNC) was prepared and characterized. The kinetics, thermodynamics, and influencing factors of the adsorption of Cr6+, Cu2+, Pb2+, and Zn2+, as well as their competitive adsorption onto MNC in aqueous solution, were studied. The results showed that the adsorption kinetics and thermodynamics of Cr6+, Cu2+, Pb2+, and Zn2+ were well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isothermal adsorption model, indicating that the adsorption was mainly chemical adsorption and endothermic. Increasing the dosage of MNC, the equilibrium adsorption capacity (qe) of Cr6+, Cu2+, Pb2+, and Zn2+ decreased; their removal rate (η) increased. With the increase in the solution’s pH, the qe and η of Cr6+ first increased and then decreased; the qe and η of Cu2+, Pb2+, and Zn2+ increased. With the increase in the metal ion initial concentration, the qe increased; the η of Cr6+, Cu2+, and Zn2+ decreased, while the η of Pb2+ increased first and then decreased. Temperature had a weak influence on the qe of Cr6+ and Pb2+, while it had a strong influence on Cu2+ and Zn2+, the qe and η were greater when the temperature was higher, and the adsorption was spontaneous and endothermic. The qe and η of Cu2+, Pb2+, and Zn2+ decreased in the presence of co-existing ions. The influences among metal ions existed in a binary and ternary ion system. The current study’s results provide a theoretical support for the simultaneous treatment of harmful metal ions in wastewater by MNC.

Abstract
Heavy metals and azo dyes caused huge harm to the aqueous system and human health. A magnetic chitosan/polyethyleneimine embedded hydrophobic sodium alginate composite (MCPS) was designed and prepared to simultaneously remove aqueous same ionic type heavy metals and azo dyes. In mono-polluted system, the optimal pH for Cr(VI), MO (methyl orange), Cu(Ⅱ) and MB (methylene blue) were 3, 2, 6 and 12 with a saturated adsorption capacity of 87.53, 66.41, 351.03 and 286.54 mg/g, respectively. Pseudo-second-order was suitable to describe the adsorption kinetics of them and the adsorption isotherms were more consistent with the Langmuir isotherm model being a spontaneous, endothermic, and entropy-increasing process. In binary-polluted system, MCPS possessed simultaneous adsorption for Cr (Ⅵ)-MO and Cu(Ⅱ)-MB pollutants at their optimal pH, in addition, whether in anionic or cationic solution, the removal of heavy metals were promoted with the add of azo dyes but the removal of azo dyes were suppressed with the add of heavy metals. Both Cr (Ⅵ)-MO and Cu(Ⅱ)-MB pollutants could be effectively adsorbed and desorbed from MCPS by changing the pH of the aqueous solution to realize recyclability. Lastly, removal mechanism was revealed in detail by FT-IR, EDS and XPS.

Abstract
Biochar prepared from straw as constructed wetland (CW) substrate reduces straw pollution and simultaneously promotes the wastewater treatment efficiency of CW. In order to further analyze the pollutant removal mechanism of KMnO4-modified biochar substrate, the KMnO4-modified biochar was characterized. The experiment on city tail water treatment by CW with biochar was analyzed. The research showed that the surface property improvement on KMnO4 (0.1 mol/L)-modified biochar was the most obvious. The biochar modified by 0.1 mol/L KMnO4 increased the SSA and the number of oxygen functional groups and alcohol hydroxyl. KMnO4-modified biochar improved the removal efficiency of NO3--N in CW. KMnO4-modified biochar substrate with plants improved the TP removal efficiency (about 45%). KMnO4 as modifier reduced the influence of biochar on electrical conductivity tracing experiment. This study will improve the utilization value of straw and the removal efficiency of CW.

Abstract
Due to the coexistence of various heavy metals in the contaminated environment, it is essential to comprehensively study the multicomponent adsorption of heavy metals in order to tackle these combined pollutants. Herein, the adsorption processes of Pb(Ⅱ), Cu(Ⅱ) and Cd(Ⅱ) by biogenic hydroxyapatite (BHAp) were investigated in single and multicomponent systems. The maximum adsorption capacity for Pb(Ⅱ), Cu(Ⅱ) and Cd(Ⅱ) by BHAp in single system reached 311.16, 82.05 and 92.54 mg g-1, respectively, while adsorption capacity for Cu(Ⅱ) and Cd(Ⅱ) in multicomponent system decreased more obviously than that of Pb(Ⅱ). Furthermore, the stability of Cu(Ⅱ) and Cd(Ⅱ) adsorbed on BHAp was indeed influenced in multicomponent system. By means of the characterization analysis, it was found that ion exchange was more instrumental in the adsorption processes of Cu(Ⅱ) and Cd(Ⅱ) in single system than in multicomponent system. Significantly, it was observed that the proportion of generally stable Pb(II) adsorbed on BHAp exceeded 95% in both single and multicomponent systems. This result might be due to the in-site growth of stable crystals of PbxCa10-x(PO4)6(OH)2, which was synergistically induced by surface functional groups and inorganic mineral of BHAp, and was unaffected by the coexistence of Cu(Ⅱ) and Cd(Ⅱ).

Meng Z, Huang S, Lin Z. Effects of modification and co-aging with soils on Cd(II) adsorption behaviors and quantitative mechanisms by biochar. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:8902-8915. [PMID: 35041169 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-022-18637-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2021] [Accepted: 01/08/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
In this study, original and two KMnO4-modified rice straw biochars (pre- and postmodification) were prepared, which were all pyrolysed at 400 °C. Premodified biochar had the largest Cd adsorption capacity, strongest acid and solute buffering capacity, which benefited from the increase of carbonate content, specific surface area, and the emergence of Mn(II) and MnOx through modification. Original and premodified biochars were then conducted four types of aging process by an improved three-layer mesh method, namely, aging without soil and co-aging with acid (pH = 5.00), neutral (pH = 7.00), and alkaline (pH = 8.30) soils. The adsorption capacities of modified biochar were always larger than those of original biochar after aging processes. After four aging processes, Cd(II) adsorption capacities were basically in the order of aged biochar without soil > biochar co-aged with alkaline soil > biochar co-aged with neutral soil > biochar co-aged with acid soil, and KMnO4-modified biochar was always better than original biochar after co-aging with soils. The dominant adsorption mechanism of original and premodified biochars (fresh and aged) for Cd(II) was all the precipitation and adsorption with minerals (accounted for 58.55 ~ 85.55%). In this study, we highlighted that biochar remediation for Cd should be evaluated by co-aging with soil instead of aging without soil participation.

Abstract
In this research work, a hybrid biocomposite based on N-maleated chitosan, amino-thiocarbamate functionalised calcium alginate and anhydrous Titania nanoparticles (NMC-MCA-TiO2) was fabricated. The study involves the one pot facile synthesis of N-maleated chitosan and amino-thiocarbamate functionalised alginate under moderate conditions. Sorbent was conditioned in the form of hydrogel beads and characterized through FT-IR and SEM analysis. Newly grafted functional groups could act as potential chelating sites for enhanced Cu(II) sorption. Modified biopolymers were organo-functionalised which provided excellent support for immobilization of Titania nanoparticles (TiO2) as inorganic filler. Kinetic data illustrated the manifestation of intrinsic chemisorption instead of simple bulk/film diffusion. Equilibrium sorption data fitted well with Freundlich adsorption model (R2 ≈ 0.99) which designated the heterogeneous nature of sorbent. Maximum sorption capacity of biosorbent was found 192 mg/g at 298 K and pH = 6.0. Standard Gibbs free energy change ∆Go (-21.53, -21.97, and - 22.42 kJ/mol), standard enthalpy change ∆Ho (5.12 kJ/mol) and standard entropy change ∆So (0.09 kJ/mol K-1) values suggested that the sorption process to be spontaneous and endothermic. The sorbent 3NMC-MCA-TiO2 could be competitive candidate for economical and rapid adsorptive removal of Cu(II) from dilute contaminated liquids.

Abstract
Efficient nano-scale chromium (Cr) remediating agents used in the water industry may find their application in soil difficult because of the strong aggregation effect. In this study, a millimeter-sized PANI/PVA/SA composite (PPS) was synthesized by embedding polyaniline (PANI) into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/sodium alginate (SA) gel beads. Additionally, the PPS was used to recover hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) contaminated water and soil to study the remediation impacts and mechanism. Results showed that the PPS was an irregular sphere with a pore size of 24.24 nm and exhibited strong adsorption capacity (83.1 mg/g) for removing Cr(VI) in water. The Cr(VI) adsorption by PPS could be well described with the pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Redlich-Peterson isotherm model, indicating that the chemical reactions were the controlling step in the Cr(VI) adsorption process. PPS also exhibited excellent physicochemical properties (< 13 mg/L TOC release) and reusability (efficiency of 95.25% after four runs) for Cr(VI) removal. Soil incubation results showed that the 5% PPS (5PPS) treatment could efficiently remove 24.17% of total Cr and 52.47% of Cr(VI) in the contaminated soil after 30 days. Meanwhile, the water-soluble and the leaching Cr contents were decreased by 43.37% and 61.78% in the 5PPS group, respectively. Elemental speciation by XPS revealed that Cr(VI) removal from solution and soil proceeded mainly by electrostatic attraction, reduction, and complexation/chelation. The study implied that PPS could be a useful amendment to remediate both the Cr(VI)-contaminated water and soil.

Abstract
The development of manganese (Mn) oxides (MnOx) modified biochar (MnOBC) for the removal of pollutants from water has received significant attention. However, a comprehensive review focusing on the use of MnOBC for the removal of organic and inorganic pollutants from water is missing. Therefore, the preparation and characterization of MnOBC, and its capacity for the removal of inorganic (e.g., toxic elements) and organic (e.g., antibiotics and dyes) from water have been discussed in relation to feedstock properties, pyrolysis temperature, modification ratio, and environmental conditions here. The removal mechanisms of pollutants by MnOBC and the fate of the sorbed pollutants onto MnOBC have been reviewed. The impregnation of biochar with MnOx improved its surface morphology, functional group modification, and elemental composition, and thus increased its sorption capacity. This review establishes a comprehensive understanding of synthesizing and using MnOBC as an effective biosorbent for remediation of contaminated aqueous environments.

Abstract
In this work, KMnO4-modified biochar was prepared from spirulina residue as the research object. Herein, we report the synthesis, characterization, and catalytic degradation performance of KMnO4-modified biochar, given that heterogeneous catalytic oxidation is an effective way to treat dye wastewater rapidly. The Mn/SRBC catalyst prepared by KMnO4 modification was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption–desorption and laser Raman spectroscopy. In addition, we compared the results with that of the unmodified SRBC. The results showed that the Mn/SRBC catalyst prepared by KMnO4 modification had a rich pore structure, which provided sufficient contact area for the catalytic reaction. In the presence of H2O2, the catalyst could be used to catalyze the oxidative degradation of malachite green in aqueous solution with ultra-high efficiency. In the experiment, the initial pH values of the reaction system had a significant influence on the reaction rate. The removal effect of biochar on the malachite green was poor in an alkaline environment. Within a specific range, the removal rate of malachite green was proportional to the concentration of H2O2 in the reaction system. The degradation rate of malachite green dye at 8000 mg L−1 was about 99% in the presence of the catalyst over 5 mmol L−1 hydrogen peroxide for 30 min. These results show the potential application of algae residue biochar and carbon-based composite catalysts for degrading and removing dye wastewater. In this work, KMnO4-modified biochar was prepared from spirulina residue as the research object.![]()

Abstract
In recent years, layered double hydroxide-biochar (LDH-BC) composites as adsorbents and catalysts for contaminants removal (inorganic anions, heavy metals, and organics) have received increasing attention and became a new research point. It is because of the good chemical stability, abundant surface functional groups, excellent anion exchange ability, and good electronic properties of LDH-BC composites. Hence, we offer an overall review on the developments and processes in the synthesis of LDH-BC composites as adsorbents and catalysts. Special attention is devoted to the strategies for enhancing the properties of LDH-BC composites, including (1) magnetic treatment, (2) acid treatment, (3) alkali treatment, (4) controlling metal ion ratios, (5) LDHs intercalation, and (6) calcination. In addition, further studies are called for LDH-BC composites and potential areas for future application of LDH-BC composites are also proposed.

Abstract
Wastewaters is generally polluted with various inorganic and organic contaminants which require effective multipurpose purification technology. In this respect, a novel V2O5@Ch/Cu-TMA nanobiosorbent was constructed via encapsulation of nanoscale metal organic frameworks (Cu-TMA) into vanadium pentoxide-imbedded-chitosan matrix to comprehensively investigate its efficiency in removal of levofloxacin drug (LEVO) (e.g., organic pollutant) and chromium (VI) (e.g., inorganic pollutant) from water. Both LEVO drug and Cr(VI) adsorptions were correlated to pseudo-second order (R2 = 1) and Langmuir isotherm (R2 = 0.9924 for LEVO and R2 = 0.9815 for Cr(VI)). Adsorption of Cr(VI) was confirmed to be spontaneous and endothermic reactions, while LEVO was found to proceed via spontaneous and exothermic reactions based on the thermodynamic parameters. The emerged V2O5@Ch/Cu-TMA is regarded as an excellent nanobiosorbent for removal of inorganic contaminant as Cr(VI) from all natural water samples (tap, sea and wastewater) with percentages range 92.43%-96.95% and organic contaminant as LEVO drug from tap and wastewater (91.99%-97.20%).

Abstract
A novel layered double hydroxide (LDH)-orange peel (OP) biochar/sodium alginate (SA) (LBSA) synthetic material was prepared as an immobilized carrier for Acinetobacter sp. FYF8 to improve the removal of nitrogen and phosphorus in the bioreactor. Results demonstrated that under optimum conditions, the nitrate and phosphate removal efficiency reached 95.32 and 86.11%, respectively. The response surface methodology was used to illustrate the adsorption properties of the material and obtained optimal conditions for the removal of nitrate. The adsorption kinetics and isotherm were well fitted with the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir isotherm model, respectively, indicating that the adsorption process was mainly controlled by chemical adsorption and was favorable. Moreover, the morphology and composition of LBSA immobilized bacteria were analyzed and the mechanism of removing nitrate and phosphate was the synergistic effect of biological metabolism and adsorption. Community structure analysis and microbial distribution showed that FYF8 might was the dominant strain in bioreactors.

Abstract
Assembly of novel ecofriendly and sustainable (N-PSPB/SHGL) nanosorbent was fabricated based on encapsulation of derived nanoscale spherical biochar from Pisum sativum pods (N-PSPB) with starch hydrogel (SHGL). The mass ratio between starch and N-PSPB was examined and 2% (w/w) was selected as the optimum percentage for fabrication of the assembled hydrogel. High swelling capacity was characterized by N-PSPB/SHGL nanosorbent (500.0%) at room temperature (25 °C), excellent stability for ten cycles with respect to regeneration by 0.1 mol L-1 HCl. Additionally, characterizations of N-PSPB/Starch nanosorbent were established by SEM and BET measurement to characterize surface area (226.94 m2/g) and pore volume (9.88 cm3/g). The N-PSPB/SHGL nanosorbent was subjected to extensive investigations to evaluate its efficiency for removal of naproxen drug (NAP) and chromium (VI). The Cr(VI) and NAP drug adsorptions were fitted to pseudo-second kinetic and correlated with Langmuir isotherm. The adsorption processes were spontaneous and endothermic based on thermodynamic study.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2020; 704:135252. [PMID: 31831228 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2019.135252] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2019] [Revised: 10/09/2019] [Accepted: 10/27/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Novel salt-based biochar was prepared by loading silicon (Si) on cornstalk biomass with "one-step sintering" technique. Manganese (Mn) was also used to modify biochar with the same method as a control. Surface morphology, elemental composition, crystal structure and surface area of "salt-based biochars" were analyzed by SEM + EDS, XRD, FTIR and BET, and the effects of the dosage of absorbent and pH of solution on the adsorption process were explored. Si and Mn could be successfully attached on the biochar surface as oxide forms. SiBC exhibited a dense and agglomerated surface, while MnBC was a kind of porous and rough materials. The optimal adsorption capability would realize when putting 2 g/L of biochar composites at pH = 5-6. Adsorption isotherms, adsorption kinetics, combine with FTIR and XPS were carried out to help to elaborate the adsorption mechanisms. The maximum adsorption capacity of Cu (II) was 152.61 mg/g on SiBC and it could reach at 97% of removal rate within 10 min when the concentration was 100 mg/L, while MnBC had to take 500 min to achieve the same adsorption effect, and reached 187.76 mg/g of maximum adsorption capacity. Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order model were more suitable for both SiBC and MnBC, which meant the monolayer and chemical adsorption were dominated. Surface complexation and precipitation was attributed to SiBC. Specialistic adsorption, ion exchange and intra-particle diffusion was put it down to MnBC.
