Magnetic separable biochar holds great promise for the treatment of Pb-contaminated wastewater. However, the absorption effect of unmodified magnetic biochar is poor. Considering this gap in knowledge, CeO-doped magnetic coconut coir biochar (Ce-MCB) and magnetic coconut coir biochar (MCB) for Pb absorption were prepared by the impregnation method, and the efficiency of Ce-MCB for Pb absorption was evaluated in comparison with MCB. Conducting the absorption experiments, the study provided theoretical support for the exploration of the absorption mechanism. The quantitative analysis exposed that the enhanced absorption capacity of Ce-MCB was attributed to the increase in oxygen-containing functional groups and mineral precipitation. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm model showed that Ce-MCB is a suitable adsorbent for Pb. The absorption characteristics of Ce-MCB was fit well with the pseudo-second-order (PSO) and Langmuir models, which revealed that the absorption of Pb in water was monolayer chemisorption with a maximum theoretical adsorption capacity of 140.83 mg·g. The adsorption capacity of Ce-MCB for Pb(II) was sustained above 70% after four cycles. In addition, the saturation magnetization intensity of Ce-MCB was 7.15 emu·g, which was sufficient to separate out from the solution. Overall, Ce-MCB has wide application prospects in terms of biomass resources recycling and environmental conservation.

The most important aspect of sorbent-based approaches is the use of a sustainable, readily available, and cost-effective sorbent material for sample analysis. Biochar is an emerging and prominent sorbent material for various applications in sorbent-based techniques due to its availability, affordability, eco-friendly nature, porosity, pore structure, abundance of aliphatic and aromatic carbon structures, and abundant oxygen-containing functional groups. On the basis of the numerous benefits of biochar, this review discusses why biochar is the preferred sorbent in sorptive-based techniques.
