The effect of various physicochemical parameters （e.g. pH, initial metal concentration, ionic strength, temperature and contact time） on the Sm（III） adsorption was studied and the surface species were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy prior to and after the lanthanide sorption. The experimental results showed that the acti- vated biochar fibres possessed extraordinary sorption capacity for Sm（Ⅲ） in acidic solutions （qmax=90 g/kg, pH 3.0） and near neutral solutions （qmax=350 g/kg, pH 6.5）, This was attributed to the formation of samarium complexes with the surface carboxylic moieties, available in high density on the lamellar structures of the bio-sorbent.展开更多
