Heavy metal lead (Pb2+) contamination in water poses a serious threat to human health, and developing some effective strategies for the removal of Pb2+ is urgent. Herein, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) anchored peanut shell biochar (BC) composite adsorbents were successfully prepared by hydrothermal method and applied for the adsorption of Pb2+. Among these composites, the MoS2/BC-3 composite displayed the best adsorption performance with the adsorption capacity of 232 mg center dot g(-1) at 30 degrees C. The adsorption procedure followed the pseudosecondary kinetics and Freundlich adsorption mod...
