Abstract
A biochar-supported green nZVI (G-nZVI@MKB) composite was synthesized using mango kernel waste with"dual identity"as reductant and biomass of biochar. The G-nZVI@MKB with a Fe/C mass ratio of 2.0 (G-nZVI@MKB2) was determined as the most favorable composite for hexavalent chromium (Cr(Ⅵ)) removal. Distinct influencing parameters were discussed,and 99.0% of Cr(Ⅵ) removal occurred within 360 min under these optimized parameters. Pseudo-second order kinetic model and intra-particle diffusion model well depicted Cr(Ⅵ) removal process. The XRD,FTIR,SEM,and XPS analyses verified the key roles of G-nZVI and functional groups,as well as the primary removal mechanisms involving elec-trostatic attraction,reduction,and complexation. G-nZVI@MKB2 exhibited good stability and reusability with only a 16.4% decline in Cr(Ⅵ) removal after five cycles. This study offered evidence that mango kernel could be recycled as a beneficial resource to synthesize green nZVI-loaded biochar composite for efficient Cr(Ⅵ) elimination from water.
