AI Article Synopsis

  • The study focused on creating a MoS-impregnated biochar (MoS@BC) to efficiently remove cadmium (Cd) from water using a hydrothermal reaction.
  • Characterization of MoS@BC showed it effectively adsorbed Cd(II) with high capacity, and the absorption mechanisms included various interactions like ion exchange and complexation involving sulfur groups.
  • With dominant bonding mechanisms identified, the MoS@BC proved to be a cost-effective solution for cleaning up cadmium contamination in the environment.

Article Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop a MoS-impregnated biochar (MoS@BC) via hydrothermal reaction for adsorption of cadmium (Cd) from an aqueous solution. The prepared adsorbents were characterized, and their abilities to remove Cd(II) were evaluated. The Langmuir and pseudo-second-order models better described the removal of Cd(II) by MoS@BC. The prepared MoS@BC exhibited excellent monolayer adsorption capacity. The S-containing functional groups on MoS@BC enhanced the adsorption of Cd(II). Multiple Cd(II) sorption mechanisms were identified; including Cd(II)-π interactions, ion exchange, electrostatic interaction, and complexation. The dominant mechanism involved Cd-O (38.3%) bonds and Cd-S complexation (61.7%) on MoS@BC. The as-prepared MoS@BC is both economical and efficient, making it an excellent material for environmental Cd(II) remediation.

Cadmium (Cd) contamination in aquatic systems is a widespread environmental issue. In this study, a solid waste iron tailings and biochar hybrid (Fe-TWBC) was successfully synthesized derived from co-pyrolysis of peanut shell and tailing waste (Fe-TW). Characterization analyses showed that the metal oxides from solid waste iron tailings successfully loaded onto the biochar surface, with more functional groups in Fe-TWBC.

In this study, a novel magnetic composite adsorbent with an alginate-chamotte clay outer layer and a gelatin-magnetite core was synthesised for effective contaminant removal from aqueous solutions. The alginate component ensures biocompatibility, chamotte clay enhances adsorption, gelatin provides mechanical strength, and magnetite enables easy recovery of the adsorbent. The composite material was characterised using Fourier-transform infrared, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, micro-computed tomography, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis and dynamic mechanical analysis techniques.
