Abstract

Oil spills pose significant threats to marine ecosystems. This study aims to assess the adsorption capacity of magnetic biochar derived from longan peel (M/BLP), produced at various pyrolysis temperatures using FeCl3-treated longan peel, as an adsorbent for removing diesel oil from water. The M-BLP was synthesized through a slow pyrolysis method at temperatures ranging from 400 to 600 °C and characterized using FTIR, XRD, BET surface area analysis, XRF, and SEM. The results showed that M-BLP had numerous small holes, repelled water, and could be separated using magnets, making it a suitable choice for cleaning up oil spills and helping the environment. We analyzed the adsorption capacity of M/BLP for diesel oil removal, considering the adsorbent dose, pH level, salinity, and contact time. Increasing the M/BLP dosage, contact time, and salinity significantly improved the sorption capacity; however, variations in pH did not have a significant effect on adsorption. Moreover, the M/BLP adsorbent had good stability and magnetic separation.
