Lead wastewater not only causes deterioration of water quality but also further enters the human body through the food chain and is harmful to human health. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find an economical, simple and efficient water treatment technology to treat lead-contaminated wastewater in waterbodies. In this paper, the modified biochar derived from corn straw by magnesium chloride is prepared. Adsorption experiments of Pb(II) in solution by the modified biochar are carried out. Experiment results show that the modified biochar mainly contains C and O elements, and a large number of functional groups. The adsorption amount of Pb(II) by modified biochar reaches 5.15 mg/g under 0.2 g of modified biochar, 25 mg/L initial concentration of Pb(II) ion, reaction time of 480 min, temperature 25°C and at a speed of 200 rpm. The adsorption process of Pb(II) ions in solution by the modified biochar fits on the Freundlich isotherm model. Pseudo-second order kinetic model can better describe the adsorption process of Pb(II) ion in solution by the modified biochar. The process of adsorbing Pb(II) ions in solution by modified biochar is dominated by multi-layer adsorption process and chemical adsorption process.
