Abstract

Biochar has been used as adsorbent for heavy metal removal in aqueous phase. However, powder type biochar has a limitation to apply in the environment. The main purpose of this study was to show how to utilize binding chemicals to aggregate powder type biochar and to examine the heavy metal sorption efficiency of chemically granulated biochar in the aqueous phase. Three different materials, biochar (BC), biochar bead (BB), and biochar bead coated with polydopamine (BBP), were examined for the isothermal and kinetic adsorption experiments for cadmium and lead. The highest Langmuir isothermal adsorption capacity for cadmium (192.308 mg g-1) and for lead (63.694 mg g-1) was observed in the BBP treatment. Similarly, in the kinetic adsorption experiments, the BBP treatment had the highest pseudo-second kinetic model parameter 4.669 for cadmium and 0.09 for lead. This study suggests that coating biochar beads with polydopamine can increase the heavy metal removal of biochar as an adsorbent.
