Abstract:

To reveal the adsorption performance of Moringa seed shell biochar to Cu2+, Moringa seed shell was used as raw material to prepare biochar under 1000℃ pyrolysis and modified with KOH. The equilibrium adsorption method was adopted to study the adsorption mechanism of Cu2+ by the biochar before and after modification. The results showed that the adsorption efficiency of modified Moringa seed shell biochar was better than that that of unmodified biochar under the same adsorption condition of pH 7.0. The adsorption process was in accordance with the Langmuir isothermal adsorption model and the quasi-second-order kinetic model. The difference was related to the specific surface area, pore structure and aromatic structure of the biochar as well as the content of SiO2. The research indicates that the prepared Moringa seed shell biochar has a good removal effect on Cu2+ in a certain range.

Key words: Moringa seed shell, biochar, activating agent, Cu2+, adsorption property
