Abstract

This is digital research data corresponding to a published manuscript, Evaluation of a pH- and time-dependent model for the sorption of heavy metal cations by poultry litter-derived biochar. Chemosphere (2024), 347, 140688. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.140688. 

Common isotherm and kinetic models cannot describe the pH-dependent sorption of heavy metal cations by biochar. In this paper, we evaluated a pH-dependent, equilibrium/kinetic model for describing the sorption of cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn) by poultry litter-derived biochar (PLB). We performed sorption experiments across a range of solution pH, initial metal concentration, and reaction time.
