This study explores the feasibility of biochar-based activated carbon derived from oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) as a potential precursor for the preparation of activated carbon via 2-step H3PO4 activation under microwave-assisted pyrolysis (2ACEFB). The characterization of EFB and 2ACEFB was observed by FTIR and BET, and chemical composition was determined using proximate and elemental analysis data. The adsorptive removal of Cu(II) and Zn(II) from an aqueous solution was studied, and the effects of metal concentration and solution pH were also investigated. The pseudo-second-order equation was properly described, providing the best fit to the observed experimental data. The adsorption capacities of Cu(II) and Zn(II) onto the EFB were 20.28 and 18.06 mg/g, respectively, and improved by 2.04- and 1.89-fold onto the 2ACEFB. The potential of 2ACEFB was also proved by adsorbent reusability with five consecutive circles of the batch experiment without regeneration or treatment. This study demonstrated that 2ACEFB is an efficient adsorbent for eliminating heavy metals from aqueous solutions.

Nanozero-valent iron (NZVI) shows great potential in the remediation of water pollution, but its application is limited by its instability and tendency to aggregate. To enhance the dispersibility and antioxidant properties of NZVI, we prepared composites (SN) by wrapping NZVI with sodium alginate (SA) for the removal of Pb(II) from water. Various characterization methods such as SEM-EDS, BET, XPS, and FT-IR were used to study the structure of the materials, and the adsorption properties of Pb(II) in the materials were analyzed using adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherm experiments. The results showed that SN had a specific surface area of 47.05 m2/g, which was significantly higher than the 7.56 m2/g of NZVI, and the surface passivation was reduced. The maximum adsorption amount of SN on Pb(II) was obtained by fitting the adsorption isotherm model at 70.92 mg/g. After five cycles of adsorption, SN exhibited a removal rate of 95.11% for Pb(II). The mechanism of Pb(II) removal by SN involved the synergistic effect of electrostatic adsorption, redox reaction, ion exchange, and coprecipitation. Notably, even after 90 days of aging, the removal rate of Pb(II) by SN remained high at 95.39%, demonstrating good reactivity. These results indicated that SN is an effective adsorbent to remove Pb(II) contamination.

In the present investigation, zinc oxide nanorods (ZnO-NR) were synthesized via the hydrothermal method using ZnCl2 as a zinc ion precursor in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide. Synthesized ZnO-NR was featured using advanced techniques including XRD, PL, SEM, and UV-visible spectroscopy. The role of these assynthesized ZnO-NR was evaluated for the sequestration of lead ions in batch mode. The elimination of lead ions was achieved at pH 6-7 using a 0.06 g adsorbent dose, 25 min contact time, 25 mg/L initial lead ion concentration, 323 K temperature, and 200 rpm agitation speed. A thermodynamic study revealed the endothermic nature of lead ion sequestration onto ZnO-NR. The lead ion sequestration followed kinetic (pseudo-second-order) and isotherm (Langmuir) models. The lead ions were eliminated up to 142 mg/g at the optimum level of affecting variables. The ZnO-NR might be a potential adsorbent for lead ion removal from industrial effluents.
