Abstract

The objective of this work was to prepare a highly efficient adsorbent from Leucaena leucocephala (Lam) de Wit via pyrolysis and chemical activation (H3PO4) with a modification (MnO4− and Fe3+) process for HAsO42− removal from aqueous solution. It has been found that the activated carbon prepared by pyrolysis activation at a temperature of 500 °C for 2 h (502) exhibited the best performance for the adsorption of the I2 number (505.69 mg g−1) and Fe3+ (28.18 mg g−1). After carbonized carbon (CC) and 502 were modified by using MnO4− and Fe3+, the HAsO42− adsorption capacity was increased up to 100 times when compared with CC and 502 without chemical modification. The pH range of about 6–7 was appropriate for Fe3+ and the HAsO42− adsorption. For the regeneration of adsorbent, the Fe3+ and HAsO42− could be successfully desorbed from the CC surface by using 1.0 mol L−1 HNO3 solution. The adsorption data were well described by the Langmuir and pseudo-second-order kinetic models, which could be confirmed by R2 close to 1. Moreover, the adsorption behaviors were physisorption, spontaneous and endothermic, confirmed by Themkin and Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherms as well as thermodynamic studies. This research was expected to help to understand the adsorption behavior of As(V) and to provide a suitable process with high adsorption capacity.
