Abstract

The conversion of lignocellulosic waste ascends as a promising path to generate new materials with wide industrial and environmental uses. Pyrolytic biochar (PBc), hydrochar (Hc), and activated hydrochar (AcHc) produced from the waste of Picea Abies bark were considered bio-based sorbents for lead uptake from aqueous effluents. PBc was obtained through slow pyrolysis (550 °C), while Hc resulted under hydrothermal conversion (280 °C). In order to enhance the specific surface, Hc was subjected to a physical activation, resulting AcHc. All three carbonaceous materials were prepared through relatively simple processes from a readily locally available resource. The carbonaceous materials were characterized using infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The Pb (II) removal has been tested in batch mode on a synthetic monocomponent wastewater matrix, as well as on a real mine drainage effluent. A significant effect of pH was observed, while the equilibrium was achieved in a short time, about 60 min for PBc and Hc and 120 min for AcHc. Langmuir model predicted a maximum adsorption capacity of 15.94 mg/g for PBc, 9.99 mg/g for Hc, and 37.46 mg/g for AcHc. All materials studied had good uptake capacities for lead with no drastic effect of typical coexisting species.
