Abstract
In this work, a new type of biosorbent was prepared from the biochar of Liriodendron tulipifera L. by adding an activation process using water vapor. By using the biosorbent, the removal characteristics of nikel ions in the water phase were investigated. When the equilibrium experiments to remove both 5 and 10 mg/L of nikel ions were performed, the adsorption amount of nickel ions was 4.2 and 5.4 mg/g, respectively. Also, the optimal initial pH was 6 to increase the removal efficiency with respect to two different nickel concentrations of 5 and 10 mg/L. To enhance the removal efficiency of 10 mg/L of nikel ions, a chemical treatment using critic acid was applied for the biosorbent. In addition, 100% removal efficiency was observed for 10 mg/L of nikel ions when the experiment was conducted for 2 h using the modified biosorbent treated by 4 M of critic acid. The results of desorption experiment to recover nikel ions indicated that 0.1 M of nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) was selected as the optimal desorption agent. Consequently, these experimental results could be employed as an economical and environmentally friendly technology for the development of nickel removal processes.
