In this study,vine pruning wastes(VPW)were used as raw material to develop an alternative activated carbon(VPW-AC)for adsorbing and concentrating rare earth elements cerium(Ce(Ⅲ))and lanthanum(La(Ⅲ))from synthetic and real leachate solutions.The Ce and La adsorption studies evaluated the effects of VPW-AC dosage,pH,contact time,rare earth initial concentration,and temperature.The VPW-AC adsorbent was subjected to many physicochemical characterization methods to correlate and under-stand its adsorptive performance.The characterization data indicate a carbonaceous adsorbent with a specific surface area of 467 m2/g.Zeta potential indicates a material with a negatively charged surface at a pH higher than 3.1,which is extremely beneficial to cations removal.For both rare earths elements(REEs),the adsorption capacity increases with the increase of the pH,reaching its maximum at pH 4-6.The kinetic data are well fitted by Avrami-fractional order,while the Liu model agreeably fits equilibrium data.The maximum adsorption capacities for Ce(Ⅲ)and La(Ⅲ)are 48.45 and 53.65 mg/g at 298 K,respectively.The thermodynamic studies suggest that the adsorption process is favorable,spontaneous,and exothermic for both REEs.Pore filling,surface complexation,and ion exchange are the dominant mechanisms.Finally,the VPW-AC was subjected to the recovery of REEs from real phosphogypsum leachate,and it is proved that it can be successfully used to recover REEs in a real process.
