摘要：Competitive adsorption studies are important to accurately estimate the lead adsorption capacity on biochar in soil. The structure of biochars was evaluated by Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and X-ray Diffraction, and the competitive of Cadmium (Cd) and Aluminum (Al) with Lead (Pb) adsorption were determined by kinetic experiments and pH effects. Adsorption kinetics indicated that the adsorption amount (mg g(-1)) of Pb by biochar was in the decreasing order of CM400 (90.9) > BB600 (56.5) > CM100 (29.2), the presence of the oxygen-containing functional groups, Si-containing mineral, PO4(3-) and CO3(2-) significantly contributed to Pb adsorption by biochars. With the presence of Cd, Pb adsorption amount was reduced by 42.6%, 23.7% and 19.3% for CM100, CM400 and BB600, respectively. The Si-containing mineral, PO4(3-) and CO3(2-) that were rich in CM400 and BB600 has led to less competition by Cd. In addition, Al showed a strong competition with Pb leading to the adsorption being reduced by 95.8%, 82.3% and 80.6%, respectively for CM100, CM400 and BB600. This was mainly attributed to the additional acidification effect by Al resulting in a counteractive of biochar's liming effect. Results from this study are important for accurately estimating the heavy metal adsorption by biochar in soil.
