ABSTRACT
In this study, a series of biochar products with different active functional groups were developed by one-pot coprecipitation method, including magnesium-modified biochar (MgBC) and functional group-grafted MgBC (Cys@MgBC, Try@MgBC, and Glu@MgBC), for effective adsorption of cadmium (Cd(II)) from wastewaters. These biochars exhibited excellent removal performance for Cd(II), particularly Cys@MgBC, whose maximum Cd(II) adsorption capacity reached 223.7 mg g-1. The highly active and weakly crystalline Mg could adsorb Cd(II) through precipitation and ion exchange, which was further promoted by the introduced functional groups through complexation and precipitation. After 120 d of natural process, the immobilization efficiency of Cd(II) by Cys@MgBC, Try@MgBC, and Glu@MgBC was still maintained at 98.7%, 95.2%, and 82.7% respectively. This study proposes and clarifies the complexation mechanism of functional group-grafted Mg-modified biochar for heavy metals, providing new insights into the practical application of these biochars.
