Abstract

In this study, the biomass fly ash/biochar composite (BFA-Biochar) was effectively prepared using wheat straw and biomass fly ash by eco-friendly ball-milling method. The BFA-Biochar was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM-EDS), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis, X-Ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The methylene blue (MB) adsorption capacity of BFA-Biochar was considerably enhanced (Langmuir Q_max of 854.75 mg/g at 318 K), and showed high adsorption performance during wide pH value (pH 4–10). In addition, the MB adsorption capacity of BM-Biochar was two folds higher than raw biochar. It was found that the Pseudo-second-order adsorption kinetics and Freundlich isotherm model accurately described the adsorption process. Thermo-dynamical parameters (ΔG^o, ΔH^o and ΔS^o) indicated the spontaneous and endothermic nature of the MB adsorption process. The increased electronic attraction and surface function were the main mechanisms of MB adsorption on BFA-Biochar. Therefore, BFA-Biochar can be used as environmentally friendly and effective adsorbents for MB dye removal from aqueous solutions.
