Pb(ΙΙ), Cd(ΙΙ), and Mn(ΙΙ) adsorption onto pruning-derived biochar: physicochemical characterization, modeling and application in real landfill leachate. Sci Rep 2024; 14:3426. [PMID: 38341513 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-54028-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2023] [Accepted: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to systemically evaluate how different pyrolysis temperatures (400, 550, and 700 °C) and particle sizes (1-2 mm and 63-75 µm) were influenced biochar evolution, made from urban pruning waste, during pyrolysis process and to establish their relationships with biochar potential for removal of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and manganese (Mn) from real municipal solid waste landfill leachate. The effects of pH (2-7), contact time (30-300 min) and adsorbent dosage (0.1-5 g L-1) on heavy metals removal were also examined. The results showed that physicochemical properties of biochar were greatly influenced by pyrolysis temperature. Particle size, however, showed little influence on biochar characteristics (p > 0.05). The yield, volatile matter, hydrogen and oxygen contents, and surface functional groups decreased consistently with increasing pyrolysis temperature. An increase in the pH, electrical conductivity, ash, fixed carbon, and specific surface area values was also found. In biochar samples formed at high temperatures (i.e., 550 and 700 °C), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy-FTIR studies confirmed the increase in aromaticity. Field emission scanning electron microscopy-FESEM images showed differences in the microporous structure and lower size pores at higher temperatures. Biochar pyrolyzed at 700 °C with a particle size of 63-75 µm (i.e., Lv700-63) showed the highest removal efficiency performance. Pb and Cd ions were completely removed (100%) by 0.2 g L-1 Lv700-63 at 7.0 pH and contact times of 120 and 90 min, respectively. The maximum percentage removal of Mn was 86.20% at optimum conditions of 0.2 g L-1 Lv700-63 dosage, 7.0 pH, and 180 min contact time. The findings suggests that the surface complexation, π-electron coordination, and cation exchange were the dominant mechanisms for the Pb, Cd, and Mn removal onto Lv700-63.

[PMID: 37865258 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.167857] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2023] [Revised: 09/19/2023] [Accepted: 10/13/2023] [Indexed: 10/23/2023]
Abstract
Although recent studies have been conducted on the pollution and toxicity of microplastics with heavy metals or antibiotics, it is necessary to further investigate the coexistence of antibiotics and heavy metals on the surface of microplastics. In this study, the mechanisms of As(III) adsorption by polystyrene (PS) and polyamide (PA) microplastics in the presence of antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, CIP) were investigated. Adsorption behavior was investigated using kinetic and isotherm models, and the effects of microplastic particle size, aging, ion concentration, pH, xanthic acid (FA), and tannic acid (TA) were considered. Adsorption kinetics and isotherm models showed that the kinetics of As(III) adsorption on PS were consistent with a pseudo-first-order model; the kinetics of adsorption on PA were more consistent with segmented linear regression. The Freundlich model is consistent with the adsorption isotherms of As(III) on PS and PA. The smaller the microplastic particle size and the longer the aging time, the better the adsorption of As(III). Increasing NO3-significantly inhibited the adsorption of As(III) by PS, while it first promoted and then inhibited the adsorption by PA. The effect of pH was similar to that ofNO3-. The adsorption of As(III) by PS was significantly promoted by FA and TA, regardless of the presence of CIP; the adsorption of As(III) by PA was inhibited. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to characterize microscopic morphology of pristine and aged PS and PA microplastics; Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XPS) revealed changes in surface functional groups of PS and PA, while demonstrating the importance of different functional groups in exogenous additives (CIP and dissolved organic matter, DOM) in the adsorption of As(III). This study provides new insight into adsorption behaviors and interaction mechanisms between ternary pollutants.

Abstract
Adopting banana peel as a raw material, the adsorption properties of banana peel hydrothermal carbon modified with a KOH solution for lead ions in aqueous solution were studied. The surface structure and functional groups of the modified hydrothermal carbon were analyzed by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, the Brunner-Emmet-Teller (BET) method, element analysis, and Raman spectroscopy. The results showed that an adsorption capacity of 42.92 mg/g and a removal rate of 86.84% were achieved when the banana peel hydrothermal carbon was modified with a KOH solution of 0.5 mol/L, with a pH of 6 and a solid-liquid ratio of 1 g/L. The equilibrium adsorption time for lead ions in solution being adsorbed using KOH-modified hydrothermal carbon was 240 min, the adsorption process satisfied the quasi-second-order kinetic model and the Redlich-Peterson isotherm equation, and the equilibrium removal efficiency was 88.62%. The adsorption of lead ions using KOH-modified hydrothermal carbon is mainly chemical-physical adsorption.

From Waste to Green: Water-Based Extraction of Polyphenols from Onion Peel and Their Adsorption on Biochar from Grapevine Pruning Residues. Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:1697. [PMID: 37760000 PMCID: PMC10525769 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12091697] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2023] [Revised: 08/23/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Onion peels (OP) are rich in bioactive compounds with a plethora of benefits for human health, but this valuable material is often wasted and underutilized due to its inedibility. Likewise, grapevine pruning residues are commonly treated as agricultural waste, but biochar (BC) obtained from this material has favorable characteristics as an adsorbent. This study investigated the potential of BC in removal of targeted polyphenolic compounds from OP extracts. The OP extracts were obtained adhering to green chemistry principles using deionized water amplified by three methods: maceration (MAC), ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), and microwave-assisted extraction (MAE). The extraction efficiency on the polyphenolic profile and antioxidant capacity was investigated with different extraction temperatures and solid-to-liquid (s/l) ratios. For further analysis, UAE at 90 °C with an s/l ratio of 1:100 was used due to higher polyphenolic compound yield. The BC adsorption capacity of individual polyphenols was fitted with the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. Quercetin-3,4'-diglucoside obtained the highest R2 coefficient in both models, and the highest qmax value. The optimum conditions in the dosage experiment suggested an amount of 0.5 g of BC using 3 g/L extracts. The studied BC showed a high affinity for targeted phytochemicals from OP extracts, indicating its potential to be applied for the green adsorption of valuable polyphenolic compounds.

Facile Synthesis of Magnetic Biochar Derived from Burley Tobacco Stems towards Enhanced Cr (VI) Removal: Performance and Mechanism. NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12040678.

Abstract
In this study, ferric-loaded magnetic burley tobacco stem biochar (MBTS) was synthesized via pyrolysis to improve the removal of Cr(VI). The results showed that MBTS had an adsorption capacity of 54.92 mg Cr(VI)/g, which was about 14 times higher than raw burley tobacco stem biochar (i.e., 3.84 mg/g). According to the findings obtained, a three-step mechanism of Cr(VI) removal by MBTS was further put forward, i.e., (1) Cr(VI) exchanged with hydroxyl groups on MBTS, (2) the reduction in Cr(VI) to Cr(III) mediated by oxygen-containing groups, and (3) the chelation of produced Cr(III) with the amino groups on MBTS. FTIR spectra further revealed that C-N, C-H, and C=C groups played an important role in Cr(VI) removal. Furthermore, the adsorption equilibrium and kinetics of Cr(VI) on MBTS could better be described by the Langmuir equation and pseudo-second-order rate equation. This study clearly demonstrated that ferric-loaded biochar derived from burley tobacco stems could serve as a cost-effective magnetic adsorbent for the high-efficiency removal of soluble Cr(VI) from wastewater. Tobacco stem-adsorbed Cr(VI) realized a green path for treating waste by waste.

Abstract
It has been widely reported that biochar can be used as a cost-effective amendment to immobilize of heavy metal contaminants in soil. While less research has been conducted on effect of biochar long-term field aging on its properties and the adsorption capability. In this study, the characteristics of aged biochar were investigated by comprehensive characterization to elucidate its mechanism transformation for heavy metal immobilization. Our results showed that, compared to fresh biochar, the relative content of C of aged biochar was reduced by 34.12%, while O was increased by 8.79%. Additionally, the specific surface area, pore volume, pore size and oxygen-containing functional groups of aged biochar were significantly increased compared to the fresh biochar. Batch adsorption experiment indicated that the maximum adsorption for Cd2+ (Qm = 32.157 mg/g) and Pb2+ (Qm = 39.216 mg/g) on aged biochar surface was much larger than that of Cd2+ (Qm = 7.573 mg/g) and Pb2+ (Qm = 8.134 mg/g) on fresh biochar. The underlying adsorption mechanisms for Cd2+ and Pb2+ on fresh biochar were dominated by coprecipitation, cation exchange and cation-π interaction, whereas surface complexation and cation exchange appeared to be more vital for aged biochar, as more active adsorption sites and Oxygen-containing functional groups were formed on its surface during aging, which was well explained by BET, XPS, FTIR and Elemental Analysis. Our study found that the physicochemical properties of biochar changed significantly during field aging. Although these changes increased the adsorption of heavy metals by biochar, the reduced stability of biochar to passivated heavy metal ions.
