“…We characterised the morphologies and microstructures of PPBC, MgFe-LDH, and PPBC/MgFe-LDH, and the SEM-EDS images are presented in Figure 2. The morphologies and microstructures of the composites indicated that the PPBC (Figure 2a) possessed wavy-like supports on a smooth surface and comprised small biochar particles shaped irregularly [39]. The wavy-like supports were the skeleton of the grapefruit skin biochar that expanded into fractures, and this structure was similar to Wang's [29] result.…”

A novel pomelo peel biochar/MgFe-layered double hydroxide composite (PPBC/MgFe-LDH) was synthesised using a facile coprecipitation approach and applied to remove cadmium ions (Cd (II)). The adsorption isotherm demonstrated that the Cd (II) adsorption by the PPBC/MgFe-LDH composite fit the Langmuir model well, and the adsorption behaviour was a monolayer chemisorption. The maximum adsorption capacity of Cd (II) was determined to be 448.961 (±12.3) mg·g−1 from the Langmuir model, which was close to the actual experimental adsorption capacity 448.302 (±1.41) mg·g−1. The results also demonstrated that the chemical adsorption controlled the rate of reaction in the Cd (II) adsorption process of PPBC/MgFe-LDH. Piecewise fitting of the intra-particle diffusion model revealed multi-linearity during the adsorption process. Through associative characterization analysis, the adsorption mechanism of Cd (II) of PPBC/MgFe-LDH involved (i) hydroxide formation or carbonate precipitation; (ii) an isomorphic substitution of Fe (III) by Cd (II); (iii) surface complexation of Cd (II) by functional groups (-OH); and (iv) electrostatic attraction. The PPBC/MgFe-LDH composite demonstrated great potential for removing Cd (II) from wastewater, with the advantages of facile synthesis and excellent adsorption capacity.
