A novel magnetic biochar from sewage sludge (MSBC) using SrFe12O19 as magnetic substrate was successfully synthesized under high-temperature and oxygen-free conditions. Several techniques and methodologies (X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and vibrating sample magnetometer) were used to determine the surface functional groups and physicochemical properties of MSBC, which showed that the MSBC combined the features of both SrFe12O19 and sludge biochar (SBC). And then the adsorption behavior of methyl orange (MO) from aqueous solution onto the MSBC was investigated. And the influence of variables including pH, initial concentration of MO, adsorbent dosage and contact time was studied in detail. The optimal adsorption amount of MO (149.18 mg·g−1) was obtained with 600 MO mg·L−1, 2 MSBC g·L−1, at pH of 5 for 40 min. The equilibrium data were evaluated using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. The Langmuir model better described the absorption of MO. Besides, the kinetic data were analyzed using pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order equations, and the pseudo-second order exhibited the better fit for the kinetic studies (R2 = 0.9982). This study showed that MSBC could be utilized as an efficient, magnetically separable adsorbent for the environmental cleanup.

In this study, a novel magnetic sludge biochar (MSBC) from sewage sludge was created by the assembly of strontium hexaferrite (SrFe12O19) onto the surface of sewage sludge biochar (SBC) under high-temperature and oxygen-free conditions. The characterization of MSBC was achieved by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and vibrating sample magnetometry, and the adsorption properties of the MSBC towards malachite green (MG) from aqueous solution were systematically investigated. The influence of variables (different mass ratio of SBC and SrFe12O19, initial MG concentration, absorbent dosage, pH and contact time) was also studied in detail. The optimal adsorption amount of MG (388.65 mg MG/g) was obtained with 500 mg MG/L, 2.0 g MSBC/L for 40 min under pH of 7.0, with different mass ratios of SBC and SrFe12O19 (1:4, 1:2, 3:4 and 1:1), when the mass ratio of SBC and SrFe12O19 was 3:4 at room temperature, and the Langmuir model was more suitable than the Freundlich model for equilibrium data. Meanwhile, the kinetic models showed that the overall adsorption process was better described by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The results indicated that the MSBC was a novel, efficient, magnetically separable adsorbent for the removal of the dye from wastewater.
