Abstract

To effectively remove cobalt, magnetic biochar was modified with chitosan and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (CMBC–EDTA), and its properties were examined through surface area and pore size analysis, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, and vibration sample magnetometry. Moreover, according to the Langmuir isotherm model, the maximum capacity of CMBC–EDTA reached 0.7311 mol·kg−1. Over 50% of 50 ppm Co2+ was removed within 20 min, and the adsorption equilibrium was reached after 2 h. At pH 3–7, the 20 ppm Co2+ removal efficiency was more than 90%, and it decreased rapidly below pH 2.
