Abstract
In this study, crayfish shell was pyrolyzed at 600 °C to obtain an unmodified biochar (CS600). MgCl2 was used as a modifier to pretreat crayfish shell to produce a modified biochar (CS600-MgCl2) under the same pyrolysis conditions. The two biochars were characterized for physicochemical properties and evaluated for lead (Pb2+) sorption ability to determine the modification mechanism. Mono-element batch adsorption experiments were conducted to compare the sorption performances of CS600 and CS600-MgCl2 to Pb2+ in aqueous solutions. All the experiments were carried out at pH of 7. According to the Freundlich–Langmuir model, CS600-MgCl2 had a higher adsorption capacity (152.3 mg/g) than CS600 (134.3 mg/g). FTIR, SEM, XRD, BET, and ICP analyses were applied to inform the interpretation of the mechanism. CS600 was calcium-rich and mainly removed Pb2+ through the ion exchange mechanism by replacing Ca2+ in the biochar. The increased Pb2+ adsorption capacity of CS600-MgCl2 was mainly due to the enlarged specific surface area and the formation of Mg3(OH)5Cl·4H2O on the modified biochar. Findings of this study suggest that both CS600 and CS600-MgCl2 can be used to remove heavy metal ions from wastewater and MgCl2 can improve the sorption performance of biochar.

Introduction
Lead is widely used in industry productions which discharge thousand tons of waste gases, waste waters, and waste residues which contain lead every year. Lead can cause great damage to organism including carcinogenic and mutagenic effects, especially to human beings (Islam et al. 2014). Methods to remove lead in wastes effectively are urgent to be found. Ways including photocatalytic processes (Majidnia and Idris 2016), ultrafiltration (Li et al. 2005), precipitation (Schulte et al. 1996), reverse osmosis (Dialynas and Diamadopoulos 2009), coagulation–flocculation (Pang et al. 2009), nanofiltration (Otero-Fernandez et al. 2018), ion exchange (Kaygusuz et al. 2017), and adsorption (Liu et al. 2013) are common to remove lead. Among these, adsorption has a good research foundation and application cases (Burakov et al. 2018). Adsorbents including active carbon (Kolodynska et al. 2017), carbon nanotubes (Peng et al. 2005), gels (Xie et al. 2008), chitosan (Ngah and Fatinathan 2010), biosorbents (Anayurt et al. 2009), and biochar (Zama et al. 2017) show good adsorption capacity on lead. Compared with other adsorbents, biochar has the advantage of cheap and easy to produce.
There are many studies on the removal of lead from waste water by biochar so far (Li et al. 2017a). Most of these studies use wood-based biochar (Li et al. 2017b; Tan et al. 2018; Wang et al. 2017). Crayfish shell has been found to be a good raw material for biochar (Zeng et al. 2019). The chitosan (Nadarajah et al. 2006) on crayfish shell and the unique structure of it seem to promote adsorption on heavy metals. By the way, crayfish is a kind of popular food in China, which provides a steady source of producing crayfish biochar. Crayfish biochar with no pretreatment has a high adsorption capacity on lead already (Xiao et al. 2017). Therefore, it is of great significance to improve the adsorption capacity of biochar through pretreatment methods such as modification.
Biochar can be modified by organic or inorganic compounds to enhance the adsorption capacity. Modifier includes hydrogen peroxide (Xue et al. 2012), methanol (Jing et al. 2014), polyethylenimine (Ma et al. 2014), and amino groups (Yang and Jiang 2014). The Langmuir adsorption capacity of lead of Douglas fir biochar and its magnetic biochar produced by magnetite (Fe3O4) are 16 mg/g and 11 mg/g respectively (Karunanayake et al. 2018). Langmuir values of coconut fiber–derived biochar pyrolyzed at 300 °C and modified with ammonia and nitric acid increase from 49.5 to 105.5 and 85.2 mg/g, respectively, compared to unmodified one (Wu et al. 2017). Hickory wood treated by KMnO4 presents the adsorption capacity of lead at 153.1 mg/g, and surface MnOx particles and oxygen-containing groups are considered as the main adsorption mechanisms (Wang et al. 2015).
The overarching goal of this work is to improve the adsorption capacity of crayfish shell biochar by chemical modification. MgCl2 was used as modifier. It is hypothesized that MgCl2 modification would dramatically improve the physicochemical properties and sorption ability of crayfish shell biochar. The specific objectives are as follows: (1) use MgCl2 to modify crayfish shell to produce biochar, and employ both ordinary biochar and modified biochar to remove Pb2+ form liquid solutions; (2) figure out adsorption mechanism and modification mechanism through experiment data and characterization analysis.
Materials and methods
Materials
All chemicals and reagents used in this study were of analytical grades, and the chemical solutions were prepared by deionized (DI) water. Lead nitrate (Pb(NO3)2) and magnesium chloride (MgCl2·6(H2O)) were purchased from Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd. Crayfish shell was obtained from a commercial source (Wuhan, China).
Biochar production
The original crayfish shell was air-dried. It was put into a quartz tube reactor and slowly pyrolyzed by using a tube furnace in a high-purity nitrogen gas environment. The slow pyrolysis was performed at the temperature of 600 °C for 2 h and the heating rate was 15 °C/min. The produced biochar was ground by a mortar and sieved to a uniform size fraction from 0.9 to 1.2 mm (Hu et al. 2018a; Long et al. 2017). Samples were washed several times with DI water to remove impurities and oven dried at 80 °C. The produced biochar samples were labeled as CS600 and stored for later experiments.
MgCl2 solution was used for modifying crayfish shell. The concentration of the solution was 1.0 mol/L and the ratio of crayfish shells to solution was 1 g:2.5 mL. The crayfish shell was soaked in the modification solution for 2 h in the dark and then oven dried, where the temperature was 80 °C. After cooling, the modified feedstock was produced into modified biochar by the same method and labeled as CS600-MgCl2.
Biochar characterization
Biochar was characterized as below. Metal elements (Ca2+, Mg2+, and Pb2+) concentration in modified biochar samples was determined by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-OES, Optima 4300DV, Perkin-Elmer SCIEX, USA). Surface area of biochar was measured by TriStar II Automatic surface area analyzer using Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) method. Surface functional groups of biochar were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR, Thermo Nicolet, 6700, Madison, WI, USA). Surface morphology of the samples was scanned by field emission scanning electron microscope (Zeiss SIGMA, UK). And crystalline element in biochar was investigated by a computer-controlled X-ray diffractometer (XRD) (PANa-lytical, X’Pert Pro, Netherlands) equipped with a stepping motor and graphite crystal monochromator.
Adsorption kinetics and isotherms
Adsorption kinetics of Pb2+ onto biochar were performed by adding 0.1 g different biochar samples into 50 mL of the adsorbate solution in centrifuge tubes at 25 ± 0.5 °C. The concentration of Pb2+ in the solution was 500 mg/L, while pH was 7. Adsorbent–adsorbate mixtures were shaken at 120 rpm till sampling at 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 6.0, 12.0, 24.0, and 48.0 h in triplicates. The suspension was immediately filtered through 0.22 μm pore size membrane filters before Pb2+ determination. Amounts of Pb2+ adsorbed onto biochar were calculated based as the differences between initial and final aqueous concentrations. The adsorption formula can be written as:
where qt is the amount of Pb2+ removed at time (mg/g), Ct is the initial concentration of Pb2+ in the solutions (mg/L), and Ct is the concentration of Pb2+ in the solutions at time (mg/L).
Adsorption dynamics is the relationship between adsorption quantity and time in a continuous period of time after the experiment begins to achieve equilibrium (Zhang et al. 2019a). The transformation of the adsorption quantity and the time of adsorption equilibrium are obtained by the dynamic curve. Pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and Elovich models were used to describe the adsorption kinetic data. The governing equations of these models can be written as (Hu et al. 2018b):
First-order:
Second-order:
Elovich:
where qe is the amount of Pb2+ removed at equilibrium (mg/g), k1 and k2 are the first-order and second-order adsorption rate constants (h−1), respectively, α is the initial adsorption rate (mg/g), and β is the desorption constant (g/mg).
Adsorption isotherms of Pb2+ onto the biochar samples were determined according to the same kinetic protocol with different initial Pb2+ concentrations (i.e., 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 mg/L) at contact time of 24 h (Zhang et al. 2019b). The pH of all solutions was 7. The Langmuir, Freundlich, and Langmuir–Freundlich models were used to simulate the adsorption isotherms. The governing equations can be written as:
Langmuir:
Freundlich:
Langmuir–Freundlich:
where K, KF, and KLF are the Langmuir constant (L/mg), the Freundlich affinity coefficient ((mg/g) (1/mg)1/n), and Langmuir–Freundlich constant (L/mg), respectively. Smax is the Langmuir maximum capacity (mg/kg), Ce is the equilibrium solution concentration (mg/L) of the adsorbate, and n is the Freundlich linearity constant.
Results and discussion
Physiochemical properties of the produced biochar
Contents of elements (Ca2+ and Mg2+) in the produced biochar were obviously affected by modifier magnesium chloride (Table 1). The content of magnesium in CS600-MgCl2 increased significantly, which indicates that modification successfully make magnesium load on biochar. Due to the dehydration and decomposition of MgCl2(OH)6 at high temperatures (Yin et al. 2019), the surface area of biochar got significantly increased after modification (103.30 m2/g), which was more than three times larger than the unmodified biochar (31.13 m2/g).
SEM micrographs showed that the surface of CS600 presented a form with porous structure. After adsorption, a large amount of pseudo hexagonal dipyramidal crystals grew on the surface and inside of biochar. CS600-MgCl2 presented a more abundant porous structure, with flake crystals grew in these pores. And vast bulk crystals in place of flake crystals distributed on the surface of biochar after adsorption (Fig. 1). The result of XRD indicated that crayfish shell biochar was mainly composed of CaCO3. It would be partly replaced by PbCO3 after adsorption. Using magnesium chloride to modify CS600 resulted in the formation of Mg3(OH)5Cl·4H2O. And Pb3(CO3)2(OH)2 instead of PbCO3 formed after adsorption (Fig. 2).
The FTIR spectrum of the CS600 showed that the characteristic absorption peaks at 1425 cm−1, 876 cm−1, and 712 cm−1 were corresponding to out-of-plane bending, in-plane bending, and asymmetric stretching modes of CO32− absorption bands of calcite, while peaks at 2515 cm−1 and 1797 cm−1 can also be attributed to CO32−. This undoubtedly confirmed the existence of calcium carbonate in biochar. Other bands in the spectra corresponded to alcoholic O–H (at wavenumber of 3442 cm−1), aromatic ring (1589 cm−1), C–O (1060–1000 cm−1), and C–C. According to Fig. 3a, functional groups of CS600 had little effect on the adsorption of Pb2+ onto biochar, because they barely changed before and after adsorption. As Fig. 3b shows, a new peak at 1589 cm−1 appeared in CS600-MgCl2, indicating that modification introduced aromatic groups which are beneficial to the adsorption progress. The enhanced O–H (3442 cm−1) can be attributed to the generation of Mg3(OH)5Cl·4H2O and Pb3(CO3)2(OH)2 crystals (Table 2).
Adsorption kinetics and isotherms
Adsorption kinetics of Pb2+onto biochar presented two distinct phases: a rapid adsorption phase over the first few hours and another gradually slow adsorption phase until equilibrium (Fig. 4). The adsorption capacity of Pb2+ could reach 50% in 6 h, followed by a slower adsorption stage. Pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and Elovich models are used to simulate the adsorption kinetics data (Table 3). And Elovich model fitted both CS600 (R2 = 0.951) and CS600-MgCl2 (R2 = 0.981) best among them. According to the test data, CS600-MgCl2 recorded the higher amount of Pb2+ adsorption equilibrium with 132.3 mg/g, compared with 125.6 mg/g of CS600.
Typical “L” shape presented by adsorption isotherms of Pb2+ onto biochar showed that the adsorption capacity increased rapidly at low equilibrium concentrations and had a lag phase when equilibrium concentrations were high (Fig. 5). To better study the adsorption of Pb2+ onto biochar, the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Freundlich–Langmuir (F-L) models were applied to fit the data to quantify the change in isotherm shape during the adsorption process (Table 4). The F-L model fitted the data better, and the values of R2 are 0.985 and 0.989 respectively. In the two kinds of biochar, CS600-MgCl2 showed higher adsorption capacity (152.3 mg/g) than that of CS600 (134.3 mg/g).
Adsorption mechanisms
Since functional groups have little effect on the adsorption of Pb2+ onto crayfish shell biochar on the basis of the FTIR spectra, ion exchange plays the major role in adsorption obviously. Pb2+can take place of Ca2+ in CS600 and soon form PbCO3. Thus, the adsorption reaction is fast at first. And the difficulty in crystalizing in the pores of biochar might be the reason for the slower adsorption. After being modified by MgCl2, a kind of flake crystal can be scanned in biochar which is Mg3(OH)5Cl·4H2O. The increase of adsorption capacity of CS600-MgCl2 is mainly caused by the following two reasons. On the one hand, modification helps to improve the specific surface area of biochar a lot, which can promote the ion exchange. On the other hand, ion exchange between Mg2+ and Pb2+ is prior to that between Ca2+ and Pb2+, which can be proved by the formation of Pb3(CO3)2(OH)2.
Overall, the main mechanism for the Pb2+ adsorption is metal ion exchange. The replaceable Ca2+ and Mg2+ are the key to increase the adsorption capacity. CS600-MgCl2 records the higher amount of Pb2+ adsorption equilibrium with 132.3 mg/g, compared with 125.6 mg/g of CS600. According to Freundlich–Langmuir model, CS600-MgCl2 shows higher adsorption capacity (152.3 mg/g) than that of CS600 (134.3 mg/g).
Conclusion
In this study, MgCl2 was used as a modifier to improve the adsorption capacity of crayfish shell biochar to lead. The results of XRD, FTIR and metal element concentration analyses indicate that crayfish shell biochar was calcium-rich. The main form of calcium in CS600 was CaCO3, which can exchange Ca2+ with Pb2+ to form PbCO3 precipitate. This contributes to the high adsorption capacity of CS600 to Pb2+. After modification, lead adsorption capacity of biochar increased from 134.3 to 152.3 mg/g. Several factors contributed to the enhanced lead adsorption on the modified biochar. The modification significantly increased the BET specific surface area of biochar due to the H2O and HCl gases decomposed from MgCl2·6(H2O) at high temperature. In addition, the modification also created large amount of Mg3(OH)5Cl·4H2O crystals on biochar surface, leading to the ion exchange between Mg2+ and Pb2+. Therefore, MgCl2·6(H2O) modification is an effective method to improve adsorption capacity of crayfish shell biochar to heavy metals. Future research should be carried out to evaluate the desorption and regeneration of CS600-MgCl2.
