Description
Summary:In this work, alginate-modified biochar derived from rice husk waste was synthesized using a simple process. The modified biochar (MBC) and rice husk biochar (RhBC) were investigated for removing Pb (II) ions in wastewater. The BET result displayed significantly improved specific surface area of MBC up to 120 m2/g along with a total pore volume of 0.653 cm3/g. FTIR spectrums presented the higher oxygen-contained functional groups of MBC as compared to RhBC, resulting in increasing adsorption capacity of Pb (II). MBC had higher adsorption capacity (112.3 mg/g) and faster removal rate (0.0081 g mg−1 min−1) than those of RhBC (41.2 mg/g and 0.00025 g mg−1 min−1). Modified RhBC can remove more than 99% of Pb (II) from wastewater and it could be utilized for three cycles with a removal performance of over 90%. In addition, the Pb adsorption mechanism by using MBC was proposed and the practical application of MBC for the treatment of wastewater in Vietnam was discussed. [Display omitted] •Alginate modified rice husk biochar (MBC) was used for Pb (II) removal in wastewater.•MBC had higher adsorption capacity (112.3 mg/g) as compared to others adsorbents.•More than 99% of Pb (II) in wastewater sample was removed by MBC.•MBC still has high efficiency of Pb (over 90%) after 3 times reused.
