Table 3.

Parameters of pseudo first- and second-order kinetic models for Pb adsorption by the cattle manure biochar (CM100 and CM400) and bamboo biochar (BB600).

Biochar Pseudo first-order model Pseudo second-order model
Q (mg g−1) k 1 × 102 (h−1) R 2 Q (mg g−1) k 2 × 102 (g mg−1 h−1) R 2
CM100 28.2 3.39 0.98 29.2 2.88 0.97
CM400 79.1 2.28 0.65 90.9 0.38 0.87
BB600 50.5 3.97 0.98 56.5 0.73 0.98

The numbers in the sample names represent the pyrolysis temperatures.
