Article Abstract

Zeolite-Mg/Fe chloride dual enhanced coagulation is a cost-effective method for advanced treatment of swine wastewater, but the sludge generated after the enhanced coagulation remains to be a problem. In this study, the precipitate from a swine wastewater coagulation unit was regenerated by pyrolysis treatment in an O-limited environment to develop a high efficient adsorbent (biochar-mineral composite, BMC) for the removal of Pb(II) from wastewater. SEM images indicate that complex Mg/Fe oxides and sludge biochar gathered around zeolite particles. Effects of different influencing factors such as Pb(II) initial concentration, pH, adsorption time and ion concentration on the adsorption performance were investigated. The results show that the Langmuir isotherm model can better express the adsorption of Pb(II) on BMC than Freundlich model and Temkin model. BMC pyrolyzed at 500 °C showed the maximum adsorption capacity of 450.58 mg/g under experimental condition of 25 °C, 100 mg/L Pb(II) initial concentration and the initial pH of 5.6. The adsorption mechanisms on BMC mainly include ion exchange, electrostatic interaction. Therefore, it is a cost-effective and environmental-friendly strategy to obtain biochar-mineral composite from recycled sludge, which can efficiently remove Pb(II) from wastewater.

Investigators are debating on the positive and negative priming effects of biochar on native soil organic carbon (SOC), which is largely attributed to the technical barrier of identifying biochar contribution to the apparently measured SOC or mineralized CO. We combined benzene polycarboxylic acids (BPCAs) molecular biomarkers and soil particle density fractionation to identify biochar contributions to the carbon content in three representative allitic soils in Yunnan. The soil-biochar mixture was incubated for one-month to avoid significant biodegradation of biochar.

Biochar (BC) is a low-cost and electroactive adsorbent for removing sulfide in aqueous media, which toxifies aquatic organisms and corrodes water treatment facilities. However, it lacks a pore structure for sulfide ion (S) mass transfer to active sites. Herein, it is shown that nickel-modified biochar (BC-Ni) adsorbed S 2.

From the perspective of treating wastes with wastes, bamboo sawdust was integrated with a hydroxyapatite (HAP) precursor to create engineered nano-HAP/micro-biochar composites (HBCs) by optimizing the co-precipitated precursor contents and co-pyrolysis temperature (300, 450, 600 °C). The physicochemical properties of HBCs, including morphologies, porosities, component ratios, crystalline structures, surface elemental chemical states, surface functional groups, and zeta potentials as a function of carbonization temperatures and components of precursors, were studied. Biochar matrix as an efficient carrier with enhanced specific surface area to prevent HAP from aggregation was desired.
