A novel combined biosorption-precipitation process has been designed and applied to recycle Pb²⁺ from low concentration lead containing wastewater. Pb²⁺ was firstly removed selectively from wastewater by pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) modified sugarcane bagasse (SB) fixed-bed column, and then, it was desorbed into the concentrated eluate and recycled by adding chemical precipitant. Adsorption performance of the column and optimum desorption and precipitation condition for Pb²⁺ were investigated in detail. Results showed that the as-prepared column could efficiently remove Pb²⁺ from aqueous solution and optimum condition for Pb²⁺ precipitation in eluate was at pH 3.0 and molar ratio of precipitant to Pb²⁺ of 5:1 by using Na₃PO₄ as precipitant. Recovery experiment illustrated that Pb²⁺ was selectively removed from wastewater containing ions of Pb²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Ca²⁺, K⁺, and Na⁺ through competitive substitution adsorption on the modified SB, and mass ratio of the five metal ions in eluate was 96.8:0.7:0.7:0.7:0.5:0.5. Pb²⁺ in this concentrated and purified eluate solution was recycled efficiently by adding Na₃PO₄. The combined method had great potential in application of heavy metal recovery from wastewater.
