Abstract
This study focuses on the adsorption of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)), a harmful heavy metal, using two
types of chlorella-based biochar (biochar pyrolyzed at 200 o
C (CB200) and iron chloride (FeCl3)-modified biochar pyrolyzed at 200 o
C (FeCB200)), and the testing of their effectiveness for the removal of Cr(VI). The FeCB200 sample
exhibited the highest removal efficiency (1 g L1
=66.12±1.01%; 5 g L1
=98.48±0.22%) compared to raw biomass (1 g
L1
=54.05±0.00%; 5 g L1
=90.09±0.26%) and CB200 (1 g L1
=51.80±0.78%; 5 g L1
=94.74±0.26%) in 100 mg L1
Cr(VI)
solution. The adsorbents were characterized using various characterization techniques, and adsorption experiments
were carried out using varying doses of the adsorbent (1 and 5 g L1
). Pseudo-second-order model provided the best fit
for the adsorption kinetics, and Redlich-Peterson model exhibited good fitting for the adsorption isotherm (R2
>0.972),
although variations were observed depending on the dose. Further, the applicability of FeCB200 was assessed using real
wastewater spiked with Cr(VI). Although the presence of organic matter resulted in a reduction in the adsorption
effectiveness of FeCB200, the difference was not significant (1 g L1
=54.27±3.19%; 5 g L1
=98.48±0.22%). These results
demonstrate the promising potential of FeCl3-modified chlorella-based biochar as a valuable adsorbent for the Cr(VI)
