A study of rare earth elements enriched carbonisation material prepared from Dicranopteris pedata biomass grown in mining area.

ABSTRACT: Phytoremediation is currently a very popular remediation method for salvaging rare earth mining sites. However, there is still a challenge concerning how to use secondary resources such as plant biomass following the extraction of rare earth elements (REEs). Herein, Dicranopteris pedata (Houtt.) Nakaike, a REEs hyperaccumulator, served to fabricate REEs-rich carbonisation materials (REEs/C) at different temperatures. The results showed that the percentages of Pb(II) removed using REEs/C prepared at 400 °C (REEs/C-4) and 800 °C (REEs/C-8) were 85.1% and 84.0%, respectively. These amounts were better than that of REEs-C prepared at 600 °C (REEs/C-6 (67.0%)). Characterisation analysis confirmed that rich functional groups like aromatic, hydroxyl and C = C/C-C in REEs/C-4 provided more chelati
