The large amounts ofheavy metal from landscape wastewater have become serious problems of environmental pollution and risks for human health. The development of efficient novel adsorbent is a very important for treatment of heavy metal. The functionalized porous nanoscale Fe 3 O 4 particles supported biochar from peanut shell (PS-Fe 3 O 4 ) for removal of Pb(II) ions from aqueous solution was investigated. The characterization of PS-Fe 3 O 4 composites showed that biochar was successfully coated with porous nanoscale Fe 3 O 4 particles. The pseudo second-order kinetic model and Langmuir model were more fitted for describing the adsorption process of Pb(II) ions in solution. The adsorption process of Pb(II) ions removal by PS-Fe 3 O 4 composites was a spontaneous and endothermic process. The adsorption mechanisms of Pb(II) ions by PS-Fe 3 O 4 composites were mainly controlled by the chemical adsorption process. The maximum adsorption capacity of Pb(II) ions removal in solution by PS-Fe 3 O 4 composites reached 188.68 mg/g. The removal mechanism included Fe-O coordination reaction, co-precipitation, complexation reaction, and ion exchange. PS-Fe 3 O 4 composites were thought as a low-cost, good regeneration performance, and high efficiency adsorption material for removal of Pb(II) ions in solution.
