Abstract:

Herein, magnetically modified biomass camphor seeds husk (MBC) was developed as an efficient biosorbent for remediation of arsenite (As(III))-polluted wastewater. The results of the SEM + EDS, TEM, XRD, and BET demonstrate the as-obtained adsorbents were Fe species impregnated amorphous porous carbon nanosheets. The effects of adsorbent dosage, solution pH, contact time, initial concentration, and co-existing ions were systemically investigated. As a result, the MBC delivers a maximum adsorption capacity of 39.7 mg/g based on the Langmuir model at natural pH. Moreover, the MBC could also maintain superior As(III) removal performance in wide pH values ranging from 5 to 10. And the commonly coexisting anions showed slight effect on the As(III) removal. FT-IR and XPS of the MBC before and after As(III) adsorption revealed the removal mechanism was dominated by the surface complexation, oxidation, and H-bonds.
