| Abstract | Permeable reactive barrier (PRB) systems containing effective and low-cost adsorbents for heavy metals are expected to function as in situ treatment methods for leachate from waste landfills and contaminated groundwater surrounding the landfills in developing countries. This study was conducted to characterize the adsorption of Cd$^{2+}$ and Pb$^{2+}$ onto coconut shell biochar (fine granules), a local soil from Sri Lanka (Entisol), and a biochar-mixed soil (1:1 mixture of biochar and soil) as potential adsorbents for PRB systems. Batch experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of solution pH, contact time, initial ion concentration, and competitive ions on the Cd$^{2+}$ and Pb$^{2+}$ adsorption. Results showed that the adsorption kinetics of Cd$^{2+}$ and Pb$^{2+}$ onto all adsorbents were well described by the pseudo second order kinetics model and that adsorption isotherms followed the Langmuir model. In the range of pH ≥3, the initial solution pH had a minor effect on efficiency of metal removal and the removal of metals mostly exceeded 80 % for all adsorbents. Measured maximum adsorptions onto soil and biochar-mixed soil were 30.1 mmol/g for Cd$^{2+}$ and 44.8–46.7 mmol/g for Pb$^{2+}$. These adsorption capacities are similar to or higher than the values of biosorbents tested for wastewater treatment in previous studies, suggesting our tested materials would be useful as adsorbents of Cd$^{2+}$ and Pb$^{2+}$ in PRB systems. Additional analysis by scanning electron microscopy linked with energy dispersive X-ray revealed that both Cd$^{2+}$ and Pb$^{2+}$ exhibited high adsorption affinity towards soil particles while adsorbing randomly to biochar granules. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
