In the current study, the effectiveness of fish scale biochar (FSBC) as an alternative material in eliminating toxic cadmium (Cd2+) ions from contaminated water was examined using batch and fixed-bed experiments for the first time. The impact of major design parameters on biosorption performance, such as solution pH, contact time, biochar quantity, and flow rate was investigated. The pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models were the best models for the biosorption process. Maximum monolayer uptake capacity and removal efficiency in batch mode were determined to be 99.14 mg g−1 and 95.40%, respectively. Under dynamic flow conditions, the proposed biochar also demonstrated a high Cd2+ removal efficiency (99.02%). Consecutive biosorption/desorption potential was evaluated via an EDTA elution to determine the suitability of the FSBC for long-term utilization. After ten cycles, the final biosorption and recovery efficiencies of FSBC were higher than 78 and 99%, respectively. According to FTIR analyses, the –NH, –OH, and carboxyl groups were the major functional sites for Cd2+ ion binding. EDX findings confirm the SEM examination, revealing that FSBC removes the Cd2+ ions effectively. FSBC demonstrates a good ability to remove Cd2+ ions even from the real effluent sample. As a result, a recyclable, low-cost, and effective biochar for the treatment of Cd2+ contamination has been revealed.
