Abstract:
      Two raw materials, i.e., rice bran and camellia shell, were used to produce biochars via pyrolysis at 650℃. The physical and chemical properties of biochars were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(BET) surface area analyses. The effects of particle size, mineral composition, contact time, and initial Pb2+ concentration on Pb2+ adsorption by biochars were examined. The results showed that compared to rice bran-derived biochar, camellia shell-derived biochar had smaller specific surface area, but was more effective in removing heavy metals from aqueous solutions. The adsorption isotherm of Pb2+ by camellia shell-derived biochar fit the Langmuir model well, and the adsorption capacity was 165.62 mg·g-1, which was higher than that of rice bran-derived biochar(58.92 mg·g-1). The results of XRD analysis showed that camellia shell-derived biochar contained a large amount of mineral components and appeared as a precipitate after adsorption.
