Loading of anionic surfactant on eco-friendly biochar and its applications in Cr(VI) removal: adsorption, kinetics, and reusability studies

Abstract Surfactant-modified biochar is a viable adsorbent for eliminating Cr(VI) from synthetic wastewater. The biochar obtained from the zea mays plant (BC) was tailored with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as an anionic surfactant forming SDS-BC adsorbent. Different controlling conditions have been...

description Abstract Surfactant-modified biochar is a viable adsorbent for eliminating Cr(VI) from synthetic wastewater. The biochar obtained from the zea mays plant (BC) was tailored with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as an anionic surfactant forming SDS-BC adsorbent. Different controlling conditions have been evaluated including pH of the solution, biomass concentration, primary Cr(VI) concentration, time of adsorption, and temperature. Under the best controlling circumstances, the percentage of removal has attained 99%. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model best described the removal process, according to the kinetic data, while the Temkin model, one of the applicable adsorption isotherm models, well expressed the adsorption process. The thermodynamic parameters were computed, which disclosed the spontaneity and exothermic character of the Cr(VI) elimination. According to the regeneration cycles, SDS-BC was cost-effective and had a good removal capability. Graphical Abstract
