Abstract:
      To investigate the effects of additive amounts, initial pH, and adsorption duration on Pb2+ adsorption, we prepared the biochars from rice husk and cotton straw at 300, 400, 500, 600, and 700℃. The results showed that the amount of Pb2+ adsorbed was gradually enhanced with the increasing rate of biochars and was higher with the higher pyrolysis temperature at the same rate of biochars.The adsorption effect was positively correlated with the pH of the solution and better especially in the range of pH 4~7. The fitting curves of Pb2+ adsorption by biochars were better by the quasi-second-order kinetic model (R2 ≥ 0.992)than the quasi-first-order kinetic model.The higher the pyrolysis temperature, the faster the adsorption rate. Meanwhile, the equilibrium adsorption capacity of Pb2+ by biochars reached no less than 49.0 mg·g-1 at medium temperature (500℃)and high temperature (600℃ and 700℃). The suitable temperature for preparing rice husk and cotton stalks is about 500℃.
