Adsorption processes are being widely used by various researchers for the removal of heavy metals from waste streams and biochar has been frequently used as an adsorbent. In this study, a MgO-loaded biochar derived from Alternanthera philoxeroides (MAPB) was synthesized for the removal of Cu(II). Compared with other biochar absorbents, MAPB showed a relatively slow adsorption kinetics, but an effective removal of Cu(II) with a maximum sorption capacity of 1, 238 mg/g. The adsorption mechanism of Cu(II) by MAPB was mainly controlled by chemical precipitation as Cu2(OH)3NO3, complexation and ion replacement. Fixed bed column with MAPB packed in same dosage (1, 000 mg) and different bed depth (1.3, 2.6 and 3.9 cm) showed that the increased of bed depth by mixing MAPB with quartz sand could increase the removal of Cu(II). The fitted breakthrough (BT) models showed that mixing MAPB with support media could reduce the mass transfer rate, increase the dynamic adsorption capacity and BT time. Therefore, MAPB adsorbent act as a highly efficient long-term adsorbent for Cu(II) contaminated water treatment may have great ecological and environmental significance.
