• ZVI-magnetic biochar composites were synthesized from paper mill sludge biochar.
• ZVI-MBC were used for the treatment of effluent containing PCP.
• ZVI-MBC synthesis conditions were optimized to obtain high PCP removal efficiency.
• PCP removal by ZVI-MBC involves simultaneous adsorption and dechlorination mechanism.
• Leaching and ageing studies were performed to confirm the stability of ZVI-MBC.
The zero-valent iron magnetic biochar composites (ZVI-MBC) were synthesized from the paper mill sludge biochar and used for the treatment of the synthetic and real effluent containing pentachlorophenol (PCP). During the synthesis of ZVI-MBC, NaBH4 was used as the reducing agent to reduce Fe(II) to Fe(0) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide was added as surfactant. The effect of the molar ratio of FeSO4 to NaBH4, dose of the surfactant and the ZVI to biochar ratio on the PCP removal efficiency was investigated. It was found that the ZVI-MBC combines the advantages of biochar and ZVI particles for the simultaneous adsorption and dechlorination of PCP in the effluent and the complete removal of PCP was obtained. The ageing tests showed that biochar prevents the formation of oxide film on the ZVI particles and leaching tests confirmed the stability of ZVI on biochar matrix as very low iron leaching was noticed.
