Functionalization of sawdust biochar using Mg-Fe-LDH and sodium dodecyl sulfonate enhanced its stability and immobilization capacity for Cd and Pb in contaminated water and soil by Xin Pan, Shaoping Kuang, Xiao Wang, Habib Ullah, Zepeng Rao, Esmat F. Ali, Qumber Abbas, Sang Soo Lee, Sabry M. Shaheen

“…The higher removal/immobilization efficiency of MSB could be attributed to its alkalinity, and the enhanced synergistic interactions including surface precipitation, ion exchange, complexation, and hydrogen bonding. The resistance to carbon loss by H2O2, thermal recalcitrance index R 50, and degree of graphitization in MSB were significantly improved compared to SB, indicating a more stable carbon fraction sequestered in MSB following aging in soil. …”
