ABSTRACT
Garden Waste (GW) and Polyethyleneimine were used as source materials to create
polyethyleneimine-modified garden waste biochar (PGWBC). The composite was employed as an
adsorbent in both static and dynamic Cr(VI) adsorption experiments after being evaluated using N2
adsorption-desorption and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The material characterization
results indicated that PGWBC was a mesoporous material that contained mainly narrow slit mesopores.
The static adsorption data indicated that Cr(VI) adsorption by PGWBC was a pH-dependent process,
a rise in pH from 2 to 9 resulting in a decrease in Cr(VI) adsorption from 44.6 mg/g to 3.8 mg/g.
The adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous, as characterized by the pseudo-second-order
model and the Langmuir equation, the maximum Cr(Ⅵ) uptake was 56.1 mg/g in 308 K. The dynamic
adsorption revealed that increasing the flow rate impaired Cr(VI) adsorption, and the Thomas model
was more suited to represent Cr(VI) adsorption by PGWBC than the Yoon-Nelson model.
