    Abstract:
    A method of Mn-coated biochar production was developed, which showed great removal ability of trivalent antimony (Sb(III)) (0.94 mg g-1) and pentavalent antimony (Sb(V)) (0.73 mg g-1), and the adsorption capacity was stable under different pH. According to the adsorption kinetics and isotherm, the adsorption process of both Sb(III) and Sb(V) was chemisorption, which was both monolayer and poly layers heterogeneous chemisorption process. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy analyses indicated that the main oxides and functional groups involved in the adsorption were manganese oxides (MnOx), carboxyl and hydroxyl groups and Sb(V) was combined with Mn-coated biochar by inner-sphere complexation. Sb(III) was oxidized by oxygen and MnOx which was both on the surface of biochar and dissolved in solution. Furthermore, X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) showed that Sb(V) was the main species after Sb(III) and Sb(V) adsorbed on the Mn-coated biochar. Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analysis indicated that Sb(III) and MnOx formed the monodentate mononuclear and corner-sharing complexes with a structure of Mn-O-Sb on Mn-coated biochar. While Sb(V) and MnOx formed inner-sphere complexes including edge-sharing and corner-sharing complexes. The new synthetic material can contribute to develop new remediation strategies for treating Sb-contaminated water.
