Abstract
In recent years, cadmium pollution in water environment has become an environmental problem that could not be ignored. As a porous carbon rich solid material, biochar is an environment-friendly new material because of its ultra-high adsorption capacity and strong chemical stability. In this study, rice straw biochar (RS-Biochar) was successfully prepared at different temperatures for removal of Cd(II) from aqueous solution. Through a series of characterization and adsorption experiments, the adsorption principle of Cd(II) by RS-Biochar was deeply studied. The results showed that RS-Biochar prepared at 600 °C (BioC600) has high specific surface area (232.6 m2/g) and shows high Cd(II) removal rate of 91.23% with the maximum Cd(II) adsorption capacity of 8.62 mg/g. The Langmuir model fit well to describe the adsorption process of Cd(II) on the BioC600. The mechanism analysis showed that hydroxyl and carboxyl groups on the biochar surface were concerned in the removal of Cd(II). The formation of CdCO3 in the adsorption process was also be proven. Importantly, RS-Biochar could be conveniently produced with needed scale, displaying a promising approach for remediating Cd(II)-contaminated water environment and a huge application potential.

Li Z, Niu R, Yu J, Yu L, Cao D. Removal of cadmium from aqueous solution by magnetic biochar: adsorption characteristics and mechanism. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:6543-6557.

Abstract
Experiments were conducted to investigate the potential of the efficient resource utilization of waste cow manure and corn straw in an agricultural ecosystem. In this study, a magnetic cow manure and straw biochar were synthesized by a co-precipitation method, and cadmium (Cd(II)) was removed by adsorption in aqueous solution. Several physicochemical characterization techniques were applied, including SEM, BET, Zeta, FTIR, Raman, XPS, and VSM. The effects of pH value, magnetic biochar content, adsorption kinetics, and isothermal adsorption on the adsorption of Cd(II) were investigated. The physicochemical characterizations revealed that the physical and chemical properties of the magnetic biochar were substantially changed compared to the unmodified biochar. The results showed that the surface of the biochar became rough, the number of oxygen (O)-containing functional groups increased, and the specific surface area increased. The results of the adsorption experiments showed that the adsorption capacity was affected by pH, magnetic biochar addition, Cd(II) concentration, and adsorption time. The adsorption kinetics and isothermal adsorption experiments showed that the Cd(II) adsorption processes of the cow manure and corn straw magnetic biochars were consistent with the Freundlich model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The results also showed that the Cd(II) adsorption effect of cow manure magnetic biochar was found to be more effective than that of corn straw magnetic biochar. The optimal conditions for Cd(II) adsorption were 800 ℃ for cow manure magnetic biochar, with a pH value of 5 and 0.14 g biochar addition, and 600 ℃ for straw magnetic biochar with a pH value of 8 and 0.12 g biochar addition. In conclusion, the cow manure magnetic biochar was an effective adsorbent for the absorption of Cd(II) in wastewater.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) contamination in rivers or lakes has attracted worldwide concerns. Biochar pyrolyzed form crop residues (CR) could adsorb Cd(II) from aquatic environments, while the removal capacity of single CR biochar is relatively low. Nano-chlorapatite (nClAP) modification can enhance metal scavenging ability, but little is known about the behaviors and mechanisms of Cd(II) adsorption by nClAP-modified CR biochars. In this study, the influences of feedstock type, pyrolysis temperature, nClAP modification and aquatic environments on Cd(II) adsorption of biochars derived from rice (RB) and wheat (WB) husks were investigated comprehensively. Results showed that the pristine RB and WB showed low and similar Cd(II) adsorption capacities, while the rise of pyrolysis temperatures from 300 to 600 °C significantly improved the adsorption capacities. The Cd(II) adsorption of both RB and WB was regarded as monolayer chemical processes controlled by chemical precipitation, surface complexation and cation exchange mechanisms. Moreover, the nClAP modification notably enhanced Cd(II) adsorption capacities from 13.2 to 39.9 mg·g-1 of pristine biochars to 25.2-60.7 mg·g-1 of modified biochars attributed to the improved contribution of Cd(II)-phosphate precipitation. Among all biochars, the nClAP-modified RB and WB pyrolyzed at 500 °C had the highest Cd(II) adsorption capacities with 60.7 and 48.3 mg·g-1, respectively. These biochars could maintain good adsorption performances under the neutral-alkaline (pH 6-8), low ionic strength, high dissolved organic matter and all oxidation-reduction potential conditions. In conclusion, this study reveals the importance of nClAP modification to optimize Cd(II) adsorption of CR biochars, which provides a promising future for its practical application in aquatic Cd(II) scavenging.

Abstract
Waste management is a key feature to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns, and to combat the impacts of climate change. In this scenario, the production of biochar from different biomasses results in environmental and economic advantages. In this study, biochar was produced from sugarcane bagasse pyrolysis, to immobilize biomolecules, in order to assemble an electrochemical immunosensor to detect antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. For this, screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCE) were modified with a dispersion of biochar and used to immobilize the receptor-binding-domain (RBD) against virus S-protein, through EDC/NHS crosslinking reaction. Under the best set of experimental conditions, negative and positive serum samples responses distinguished based on a cutoff value of 82.3 %, at a 95 % confidence level. The immunosensor showed selective behavior to antibodies against yellow fever and its performance was stable up to 7 days of storage. Therefore, biochar yielded from sugarcane bagasse is an ecofriendly material that can be used as a platform to immobilize biomolecules for construction of electrochemical biosensors.

Abstract
Biochar is the solid material produced from the carbonization of organic feedstock biomass. This material has several unique characteristics such as greater carbon content, good electrical conductivity, high stability and large surface area, which can be applied in several research areas such as generation of power and wastewater treatment. In connection with this, recently, the investigations on biochar significantly focus on the removal of toxic heavy metals since the biochar material is easily available and environmentally friendly. According to an environmental analytical device, biochar-derived carbonaceous material has been additionally applied to the synthesis of an effective, sensitive, and low-cost electrochemical sensor. Biochar with an assessment of electrochemical properties has engaged with different redox reactions in water. In this survey, electrochemical ways of behaving of biochar in light of the electrochemical structures were analytically compiled as well as the impact from biomass sources and manufacturing process including carbonization strategies, pre-treatment/changed techniques. This review emphasizes the various synthesis methods of biochar form organic feedstock, properties and different modulations of biochar for the bioremediation of heavy metals. This review study emphasizes the utilization of biochar as sensing platform and supercapacitor for electrode fabrication in electrochemical biosensor to enhance the remediation of toxic contaminants from water streams and by switching the less ecological traditional materials. Brief information on the techniques employed for packaging biochar as carbon electrode is summarized. Scope in the aspect of environmental concern of biochar, future challenges and prospects are proposed in detail.

Abstract
The disposal of biomass enriched with heavy metals (HMs) limits the application of phytoextraction. This study investigated the feasibility of obtaining K-rich fertilizer with low risk of HMs and biochar with good application prospect by extracting Napier grass biochar using 15% HNO3 and separating HMs from the filtrate using 40% KOH. In this study, Napier grass biochar produced at 500 °C showed better potential for utilization owing to its relatively low HM contents, high nutrient contents, and high yield. In fact, 61.26% Cd, 84.22% Zn, and more K were extracted from biochar when the pH was adjusted to 1 using 15% HNO3. Then, Cd and Zn could be almost separated from the filtrate by adjusting the pH to 10 or more by adding 40% KOH. The Cd content in the biochar was reduced from a low risk level to a no-risk level, and the Zn content in the biochar was reduced from a medium risk level to a low risk level when the pH was adjusted to 1 and 2 by adding 15% HNO3. The adsorption capacity of biochar to dyes was enhanced when the pH was adjusted to 1 using 15% HNO3. The cation exchange mechanism endows the biochar with better potential for reuse (for methylene blue). This work provides a safe, efficient, and maneuverable resource allocation method.

Abstract
Increased population growth, industrialization, and modern culture create a variety of consequences, including environmental pollution, heavy metal accumulation, and decreasing energy resources. This perilous position necessitates the development of long-term energy resources and strategies to address environmental threats and power shortages. In this study, an investigation into the use of castor seed oil cake and waste tyres as a feed material for the copyrolysis process for yielding maximum oil production was performed. The copyrolysis experiments were performed by changing the mass percentage of waste tyres with oil cake to make different ratios of 100 : 0, 75 : 25, 50 : 50, 25 : 75, and 0 : 100. At 50 : 50 ratio, the maximum positive synergy on oil production was obtained. At that condition, a maximum of 59.8 wt% oil was produced and characterized to analyze its physiochemical properties. The coprocessing of the selected two feed materials enables the stabilization of the oil, as the produced oil has a lower oxygen content with a maximum heating value of 38.72 MJ/kg. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of the oil showed the existence of aromatic hydrocarbons and phenolic elements. Adding waste tyres to the biomass improved the quality of the oil by increasing carbon content with reduced oxygen content.

Abstract
Biochar has advantages of a large specific surface area and micropore structure, which is beneficial for immobilization remediation of heavy metal‒contaminated soils. A field experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of rice husk biochar (BC) (7.5, 15, and 15 t hm-2) on Cd availability in soils and accumulation in maize (Zea mays L), soil aggregate structure, and microbial community abundance. The results show that BC treatment promoted the formation of large aggregates (5-8 and 2-5 mm) and enhanced aggregate stability, whereas it decreased the proportion of ≤0.25 mm soil aggregates. The geometric mean diameter and mean weight diameter under BC‒treated soils increased by 9.9%-40.5% and 3.6%-32.7%, respectively, indicating that the stability of soil aggregates increased. Moreover, BC facilitated the migration of Cd from large particles (>0.5 mm aggregates) to small particles (<0.25 mm aggregates). The application of BC decreased diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid ‒extractable Cd by 17.6%-32.12% in contrast with the control. The amount of Cd in maize was reduced by 56.7%-81.1% for zhengdan958, 52.4%-85.9% for Sanbei218, and 73.7%-90.4% for Liyu16. When compared with the control groups, BC addition significantly (P < 0.05) increased the number of Ace observed, Shannon diversity indices, and the relative abundances of Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, and Bacteroidetes. Therefore, rice husk BC exhibited a certain feasibility in immobilizing remediation of weakly alkaline Cd‒contaminated soils.

Abstract
The prospect of synthesizing biochar from agricultural wastes or by-products to utilize them as a promising adsorbent material is increasingly gaining attention. This research work focuses on synthesizing biochar from castor biomass (CBM) and evaluating its potential as an adsorbent material. Castor biomass-based biochar (CBCs) prepared by the slow pyrolysis process at different temperatures (CBC400 °C, CBC500 °C, and CBC600 °C for 1 h) was investigated for the adsorption of textile dye effluents (safranin). The pyrolysis temperature played a key role in enhancing the morphology, and the crystallinity of the biochar which are beneficial for the uptake of safranin. The CBC600 adsorbent showed a higher safranin dye removal (99.60%) and adsorption capacity (4.98 mg/g) than CBC500 (90.50% and 4.52 mg/g), CBC400 (83.90% and 4.20 mg/g), and castor biomass (CBM) (64.40% and 3.22 mg/g). Adsorption data fitted better to the Langmuir isotherm model than to the Freundlich isotherm model. The kinetics of the adsorption process was described well using the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The study on the effect of the contact time for the adsorption process indicated that for CBC600, 80% dye removal occurred in the first 15 min of the contact time. After three regeneration cycles, CBC600 exhibited the highest dye removal efficiency (64.10%), highlighting the enhanced reusability of CBCs. The crystalline patterns, functional binding sites, and surface areas of the prepared CBCs (CBC400, CBC500, CBC600) were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area measurements, respectively.

Abstract
In order to explore the comprehensive utilisation and recycling technology of Caragana korshinskii resources, a new agricultural biomass waste, 15 kinds of Caragana korshinskii biochar (CB) were prepared by controlling the pyrolysis temperature and time at the anaerobic environment. Moreover, we pay more attention to deriving the adsorption mechanisms and exploring the difference in adsorption characteristics of Pb2+ and Cd2+. The optimal preparation conditions and the batch adsorption experiments were evaluated, and the adsorption characteristics and mechanisms were discussed using 8 theoretical adsorption models and multiple characterisation methods. The results showed that the CB prepared at 650 °C for 3 h presented the best performance. The Langmuir and Freundlich models can well simulate the isotherm adsorption process of CB for Pb2+ and Cd2+, respectively. The adsorption kinetics of CB for Pb2+ and Cd2+ were best fitted by the pseudo-second-order model. The adsorption equilibrium for Pb2+ and Cd2+ was reached within 3 h, and their maximum adsorption capacity reached 220.94 mg g-1 and 42.43 mg g-1, respectively. In addition, the best addition amount was 3 g L-1 and 2.2 g L-1 for Pb2+ and Cd2+, respectively. The optimum pH range was 3-6 for Pb2+ and 6-7.5 for Cd2+. The adsorption mechanisms of CB for Pb2+ and Cd2+ were physicochemical composite adsorption processes, mainly including physical sorption on surface sites, intraparticle diffusion, electrostatic adsorption, ion/ligand exchange, cationic-π interactions, surface complexation and precipitation. Furthermore, the ash of CB also presented a positive effect on the adsorption of Pb2+. Compared with other cellulose- and lignin-based biomass materials, CB showed low cost and efficient performance without complicated modification conditions. Therefore, this study demonstrates that CB is a promising raw material in water pollution control to immobilise heavy metals.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2020; 748:141381.

Abstract
Three different composites were produced, based on zinc oxide and biochar (ZnO/biochar), varying the type of biomass (Salvinia molesta: SM; exhausted husk of black wattle: EH; and sugarcane bagasse: SB), with pyrolysis under mild conditions at 350 and 450 °C. Evaluation was made of the capacities of the composites for photocatalytic degradation of sulfamethoxazole antibiotic (SMX) and methyl orange dye (MO). The properties of the prepared composites were influenced by the biomass source, with larger crystallite size (SB), lower band gap energy (SM), higher specific surface area (SB), and larger pore size (SM) resulting in higher photocatalytic efficiency. Good degradation results were obtained using these innovative photocatalysts prepared at low temperatures, when compared to ZnO/biochar materials reported in previous studies. The best degradation capacities were obtained for the composites produced at 450 °C from SB and SM, with 99.3 and 97% degradation of SMX after 45 min, and 90.8 and 88.3% degradation of MO after 120 min, respectively.

Utilization of Jujube Biomass to Prepare Biochar by Pyrolysis and Activation: Characterization, Adsorption Characteristics, and Mechanisms for Nitrogen. MATERIALS 2020; 13:ma13245594.

Abstract
The rapid advancement of jujube industry has produced a large amount of jujube biomass waste, requiring the development of new methods for utilization of jujube resources. Herein, medium-temperature pyrolysis is employed to produce carbon materials from jujube waste in an oxygen-free environment. Ten types of jujube biochar (JB) are prepared by modifying different pyrolysis parameters, followed by physical activation. The physicochemical properties of JB are systematically characterized, and the adsorption characteristics of JB for NO3− and NH4+ are evaluated via batch adsorption experiments. Furthermore, the pyrolysis and adsorption mechanisms are discussed. The results indicate that the C content, pH, and specific surface area of JB increase with an increase in the pyrolysis temperature from 300 °C to 700 °C, whereas the O and N contents, yield, zeta potential, and total functional groups of JB decrease gradually. The pyrolysis temperature more significantly effects the biochar properties than pyrolysis time. JB affords the highest adsorption capacity for NO3− (21.17 mg·g−1) and NH4+ (30.57 mg·g−1) at 600 °C in 2 h. The Langmuir and pseudo-second-order models suitably describe the isothermal and kinetic adsorption processes, respectively. The NO3− and NH4+ adsorption mechanisms of JB may include surface adsorption, intraparticle diffusion, electrostatic interaction, and ion exchange. In addition, π–π interaction and surface complexation may also be involved in NH4+ adsorption. The pyrolysis mechanism comprises the combination of hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin decomposition involving three stages. This study is expected to provide a theoretical and practical basis for the efficient utilization of jujube biomass to develop eco-friendly biochar and nitrogenous wastewater pollution prevention.

Abstract
Biochars were prepared by pyrolyzing mango peel waste at 300, 400, 500, 600 and 700 °C. Various characterizations were carried out to explore the effect of pyrolysis temperature on the biochars. The data indicated that the physical and chemical properties of biochar such as pH, element ratio, specific surface area and functional groups changed with the increase of pyrolysis temperature. The yield and contents of hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen decreased, while contents of the ash and carbon, pH and specific surface area of the biochars increased. In addition, the molar ratios of H/C, O/C and (O + N)/C decreased. In this study, batch adsorption experiments for Cd(ii) adsorption were performed with initial Cd(ii) concentrations of 10-300 mg L-1, contact times of 0-2880 min, various pH (2-8) and biochar dose (1-20 g L-1). Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetics models were better fits than other models, suggesting the dominant adsorption of mango peel biochars is via monolayer adsorption. Biochar derived at 500 °C was found to have the highest adsorption capacity of 13.28 mg g-1 among all biochars and the adsorption efficiency was still 67.7% of the initial adsorption capacity after desorption for 4 times. Based on adsorption kinetics and isotherm analysis in combination with EDS, FTIR and XRD analysis, it was concluded that cation exchange, complexation with surface functional groups and precipitation with minerals were the dominant mechanisms responsible for Cd adsorption by mango peel biochar. The study suggested that mango peel can be recycled to biochars and can be used as a low-cost adsorbent for Cd(ii) removal from wastewater.

Abstract
Carbonization of biomass can prepare carbon materials with excellent properties. In order to explore the comprehensive utilization and recycling of Caragana korshinskii biomass, 15 kinds of Caragana korshinskii biochar (CB) were prepared by controlling the oxygen-limited pyrolysis process. Moreover, we pay attention to the dynamic changes of microstructure of CB and the by-products. The physicochemical properties of CB were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), BET-specific surface area (BET-SSA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), and Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The optimal preparation technology was evaluated by batch adsorption application experiment of NO3-, and the pyrolysis mechanism was explored. The results showed that the pyrolysis temperature is the most important factor in the properties of CB. With the increase of temperature, the content of C, pH, mesoporous structure, BET-SSA of CB increased, the cation exchange capacity (CEC) decreased and then increased, but the yield and the content of O and N decreased. The CEC, pH, and BET-SSA of CB under each pyrolysis process were 16.64-81.4 cmol·kg-1, 6.65-8.99, and 13.52-133.49 m2·g-1, respectively. CB contains abundant functional groups and mesoporous structure. As the pyrolysis temperature and time increases, the bond valence structure of C 1s, Ca 2p, and O 1s is more stable, and the phase structure of CaCO3 is more obvious, where the aromaticity increases, and the polarity decreases. The CB prepared at 650 °C for 3 h presented the best adsorption performance, and the maximum theoretical adsorption capacity for NO3- reached 120.65 mg·g-1. The Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order model can well describe the isothermal and kinetics adsorption process of NO3-, respectively. Compared with other cellulose and lignin-based biomass materials, CB showed efficient adsorption performance of NO3- without complicated modification condition. The by-products contain bio-soil and tail gas, which are potential source of liquid fuel and chemical raw materials. Especially, the bio-oil of CB contains α-d-glucopyranose, which can be used in medical tests and medicines.

Abstract
For the first time, a nanocomposite based on biochar and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was employed to construct a modified carbon paste electrode and applied for the determination of carbendazim (CBZ). Biochar was obtained by through pyrolysis of Eichhornia crassipes biomass, also known how "Aguapé" at 400 °C. The modified electrode with our nanocomposite proposal shows to be able to preconcentrate CBZ and presented the highest analytical response in comparison to the unmodified electrode and by the electrodes prepared with the proposed materials separately. Using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) under optimized conditions, the sensor showed a linear dynamic response (LDR) from 30 to 900 nmol L-1, a limit of detection (LOD) of 2.3 nmol L-1 and limit of quantification (LOQ) of 7.7 nmol L-1. No significant influence of inorganic ions or organic compounds on sensor response was verified, considering the recovery evaluation data. The proposed sensor was successfully applied for the determination of CBZ in spiked whole orange juice, lettuce leaves, drinking water, and wastewater samples. Good recovery values were found using the ex-situ methodology, showing excellent analytical performance of the electrochemical sensor based on biochar and rGO nanocomposite.

Abstract
In PAA-g-lignin, phase separation, caused by the difference in expansion properties between lignin and polyacrylic acid, is used to build a porous hydrogel. In this study, PAA-g-APL was produced by grafting polyacrylic acid with acid-pretreated alkali lignin. Acid-pretreated alkali lignin acts as a hierarchical pore-forming agent that enhances the simultaneous adsorption capacities for Pb2+, Cu2+ and Cd2+ ions from wastewater. Notably, PAA-g-APL acted as a selective adsorbent for Pb2+ ions has an excellent selective removal coefficient α (20.22) in contaminated wastewater contained Cu2+ ions. Its molar partition coefficient for Pb2+ ions (68 %) is higher than that for either Cu2+ ions (28.6 %) or Cd2+ ions (3.4 %). At equilibrium, the total adsorption capacities of PAA-g-APL for Pb2+, Cu2+ and Cd2+ were 1.076 mmol g-1, 0.3233 mmol g-1 and 0.059 mmol g-1, respectively. The experimental kinetic data fitted well to a pseudo-second order model and to an intra-particle-diffusion model. The Freundlich isotherm model gave the best fit with the experimental equilibrium data. The ΔG° for PAA-g-APL is < 0, indicating that the adsorption of heavy metal ions is a spontaneous process. This study provides a highly promising candidate for the treatment of wastewater contaminated with a mixture of heavy metals.

Abstract
In this paper, we have successfully prepared porous magnetic biochar with excellent surface area and recovery rate using corn stalks (CS) and waste iron (WI) as precursors. Notably, in order to prevent the incorporated iron oxides from blocking the carbon pores, then resulting in a decrease in specific surface area and reducing the removal efficiency of the material, the optimum range of iron ions can be determined to be 0.04-0.06 mol/L according to the effect of the amount of iron on the magnetic biochar recovery rate and Pb2+ removal capacity. Furthermore, as-synthesized artificial humic acid (A-HA) obtained from waste biomass by hydrothermal humification (HTH) technology has abundant functional groups, which can complex with heavy metals and metal oxides. Therefore, A-HA is introduced as an activator to produce novel porous magnetic biochar materials (AHA/Fe3O4-γFe2O3@PBC) with abundant functional groups (i.e., phenolic-OH, -COOH, etc.), providing high dispersibility and stability, further leading to excellent removal performance (Langmuir removal capacity up to 99.82 mg/g) and recyclable performance (removal capacity after 5 removal cycles is 79.04 mg/g). Multiple removal mechanisms have been revealed, including reduction, complexation, and precipitation.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2020; 704:135251. [PMID: 31812421 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2019.135251] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2019] [Revised: 10/17/2019] [Accepted: 10/27/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Clanis bilineata larva skin (CBLS), a new residue from the food industry, was first used to produce biochars by pyrolysis at 300 °C (CBLS300) and 700 °C (CBLS700), respectively, for Pb immobilization. The sorption isotherms and immobilization mechanisms of Pb on two biochars were investigated. CBLS700 exhibited more high-efficiency in sorption of Pb than CBLS300 due to the predicted maximum sorption capacity of CBLS700 (77.52 mg/g) was larger than that of CBLS300 (49.02 mg/g). Synchrotron-based microfocused X-ray fluorescence analysis exhibited the co-distribution of Pb and P in the sorption product of CBLS700 rather than CBLS300. Microfocused X-ray absorption near-edge structure analysis highlighted the significance of organic ligand in the biochar for Pb immobilization due to both sorption products have organic complexed Pb. Moreover, 25% of total Pb was present as hydrocerussite on CBLS300 but partially transformed into stable hydroxylpyromorphite on CBLS700 (~21%), which was in accordance with the analysis of scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy disperse spectra. Additionally, addition of CBLS700 was more effective in reducing the leachable Pb in shooting range soil than that of CBLS300. These results strongly suggested the potential application of the new biochar (CBLS700) for the remediation of Pb-contaminated soils.

CHEMOSPHERE 2020; 241:125121. [PMID: 31683424 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2019.125121] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2019] [Revised: 10/11/2019] [Accepted: 10/13/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
The present study firstly reports spent Ganoderma lucidum substrate derived biochars (SLBCS) for the effective removal of Pb2+/Cd2+ from water. The effects of pyrolysis temperature on the SLBCS characteristics and Pb2+/Cd2+ adsorption mechanism was studied systematically. The surface physicochemical properties of SLBCS were significantly affected by the pyrolysis temperature. The increase in pyrolysis temperature from 250 to 650 °C resulted in a drastic increase in the biochar surface area and the well development of mesoporous structure, which could provide more effective adsorption sites for Pb2+ and Cd2+ onto SLBCS. According to the Langmuir model, the obtained maximum adsorption capacity of Pb2+ onto SL650 reached 262.76 mg g-1, while that of Cd2+ reached 75.82 mg g-1. The adsorption capacities of SL650 for Pb2+ and Cd2+ were even higher than that of other modified biochars. The high adsorption capacity of SL650 for Pb2+, attributed to the precipitation supported by high temperature, benefitted the formation of carbonate minerals. Two possible mechanisms involved in Cd2+ sorption: carbonate precipitation and coordination with π electrons. Desorption of SL650 showed high efficiency for Pb2+, but slightly low efficiency for Cd2+. These results indicate that SL650 can be applied for removing heavy metals, especially Pb2+, from polluted water.

Abstract
A promising new form-stable phase change material (PA/PB) was fabricated using pinecone biochar (PB) as the supporting material of palmitic acid (PA). The biochar of PB with large surface area was produced by forest residue of pinecone, and it was cheap, environment friendly and easy to prepare. The PB was firstly utilized as the supporter of PA and the characterizations of PA/PB were analyzed by the BET, SEM, XRD, DSC, TGA, FT-IR and thermal conductivity tester. The results demonstrated that the PA was physically absorbed by the PB and the crystal structure of the PA was not destroyed. The results of DSC showed that the fusing and crystallization points of the form-stable phase change material with the maximum content of PA (PA/PB-4) were 59.25 °C and 59.13 °C, and its fusing and freezing latent heat were 84.74 kJ/kg and 83.81 kJ/kg, respectively. The results of TGA suggested that the thermal stability of the PA/PB-4 composite was excellent, which could be used for the applications of thermal energy storage. Furthermore, the thermal conductivity of PA/PB-4 was 0.3926 W/(m∙K), which was increased by 43.76% compared with that of the pure PA. Thus, the study results indicated that the PA/PB-4 had great potential for thermal energy storage applications.

Abstract
This work describes the first method using biochar (BC) as carbonaceous platform for immunoassay application. BC is a highly functionalized material obtained through biomass pyrolysis under controlled conditions. Due to the highly functionalized surface, covalent binding between BC and biomolecules can be performed by EDC/NHS conjugation. The application of the modified electrode was done with Hantavirus, that are etiologic agents mainly transmitted by wild rodents. Among its pathologies Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome (HCPS) arises at Americas, caused by Hantavirus Araucária and reaches 40% lethality. The diagnostic is based on the presence of specific hantavirus nucleoprotein (Np), under viremic condition or IgG2b antibodies (Ab), during first symptoms. The results presented a device sensitivity of 5.28 μA dec-1 and a LOD of 0.14 ng mL-1 to the Np detection, ranging from 5.0 ng mL-1 to 1.0 μg mL-1, the Ab detection works as qualitative type sensor above 200 ng mL-1. Both sensors were evaluated its selectivity and serum samples; selectivity against Gumboro disease, VP2 protein, and antibody IgG2a against Yellow fever disease (YF), respectively. So, the devices here proposed are promising tool suitable for both rodent and human hantavirus clinical surveys.

Abstract
This study aims to discover the impact of composting and pyrolysis on the adsorption performance of Auricularia auricula dreg (AAD) for Cd(II) in aqueous solution. Auricularia auricula dreg (AAD), Auricularia auricula dreg biochar (AADB) and Auricularia auricula dreg compost (AADC) were used to remove Cd(II) from aqueous solution, and their adsorption conditions and mechanisms were compared. The adsorption quantity of three adsorbents reached the maximum (AAD: 80.0 mg/g, AADB: 91.7 mg/g, AADC: 93.5 mg/g) under same conditions (adsorbent dosage of 1 g/L, pH 5.0, biosorption temperature of 25 °C, and biosorption time of 120 min). All Cd(II) biosorption processes onto three adsorbents complied with the Langmuir isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic equation, and spontaneously occurred in an order of AADC > AADB > AAD. The difference in biosorption quantity relied on variation in surface structure, crystal species and element content caused by composting or pyrolysis. Composting enhanced the changes in surface structure, crystal species, functional groups and ion exchange capacity of the AAD, resulting in AAD had greatly improved the biosorption quantity of Cd(II). Pyrolysis increased the adsorption of Cd(II) mainly by increasing the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area, the particle size and pH, in the same time, providing more oxygen-containing functional groups.

Abstract
Molten salt has been regarded as a versatile and environmental-friendly method for the material preparation and waste destruction. In this work, molten FeCl3 was utilized for the generation of magnetic biochar (MBC) derived from simultaneous activation and magnetization of biomass. The sample characterization indicated that MBC had a rough surface with BET surface area of 404 m2/g and total pore volume of 0.35cm3/g. Highly dispersed Fe3O4 and nitrogen could be deposited on the surface, leading to an excellent magnetization property. The MBC exhibited a great 2,4-Dichlorophenol (2.4-DCP) and atrazine removal performance in solution with the maximum adsorption capacity achieved 298.12 mg/g and 102.17 mg/g. Kinetics results demonstrated that MBC adsorption met the Pseudo-first-order model better. Molten NaOH-Na2CO3 was provided for the re-activation of exhausted MBC. 2,4-DCP was firstly desorbed from the MBC and subsequently destructed by the active species in the melt medium. Chlorine can be captured in the molten alkaline medium from the XRD pattern of residues.The MBC could be easily recovered with a yield of 98.2% and fixed carbon content of 61.0% after the molten salt regeneration process. With no 2,4-DCP detected, 65.5% and 31.69% of initial Cl was found in washing water and residues with the molten NaOH-Na2CO3, respectively. After 4 cycles of regeneration and adsorption, 60.55%-72.22% of initial adsorption capacity can be kept. This preparation and regeneration method can be an effective way to reduce the risk of secondary pollution of chlorinated organic compounds during adsorbent regeneration.Implications: Molten salt (MS) is a salt or multiple salts with a low melting point, and has been applied in many sectors and is regarded as a crucial role in terms of energy, environmental, and resource sustainability. In our paper, magnetic biochar was prepared by one-step activation and magnetization of fir dust using molten FeCl3∙6H2O. Meanwhile, a regeneration method using molten alkaline salt was provided. Magnetic biochar generated in our study performed well in the 2,4-dichlorophenol and atrazine adsorption. After four cycles of regeneration and adsorption, 72.2% of initial 2,4-DCP adsorption capacity can be kept.

Abstract
A new form-stable composite phase change material (PEG/ASB) composed of almond shell biochar (ASB) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) was produced via a simple and easy vacuum impregnation method. The supporting material ASB, which was cost effective, environmentally friendly, renewable and rich in appropriate pore structures, was produced from agricultural residues of almond shells by a simple pyrolysis method, and it was firstly used as the matrix of PEG. Different analysis techniques were applied to investigate the characteristics of PEG/ASB, including structural and thermal properties, and the interaction mechanism between ASB and PEG was studied. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and thermal cycle tests demonstrated that PEG/ASB possessed favorable thermal stability. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) curves demonstrated that the capacities for latent heat storage of PEG/ASB were enhanced with increasing PEG weight percentage. Additionally, PEG/ASB had an excellent thermal conductivity of 0.402 W/mK, which was approximately 1.6 times higher than that of the pure PEG due to the addition of ASB. All the study results indicated that PEG/ASB had favorable phase change properties, which could be used for thermal energy storage.

Abstract
Corn straw- and municipal sludge-derived biochars (CS-BC and MS-BC, respectively) were used to remove Pb(II) from aqueous solutions. Despite being pyrolysed at the same temperature (723 K), MS-BC showed higher porosity and hydrophobicity than CS-BC. The optimum biochar loading and pH values allowing efficient Pb(II) removal (greater than 80%) were 0.2 g l-1 and 7.0, respectively. The presence of PO43- (greater than 0.01 mol l-1) significantly affected the adsorptive performance of Pb(II) on the biochar samples. The adsorption data fitted well to a pseudo-second-order kinetic model and a Langmuir model, and the maximum Pb(II) adsorption capacities were 352 and 387 mg g-1 for CS-BC and MS-BC, respectively. The main mechanisms involved in the adsorption of Pb(II) on biochar were electrostatic attraction and surface complexation. When comparing both biochars, CS-BC showed better cost-effectiveness for the removal of Pb(II) from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
The environmental applications of graphene oxide and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) have attracted great attention since their first discovery. Novel nanocomposites were successfully prepared by using an esterification reaction between β-cyclodextrin/γ-(2,3-epoxypropoxy) propyl trimethoxysilane grafted graphene oxide (β-CD/GPTMS/GO). The β-CD/GPTMS/GO nanocomposites were used to remove the Cu2+ from aqueous solutions. The characteristics of β-CD/GPTMS/GO were detected by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared, X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX). The dispersibility of graphene oxide was excellent due to the addition of β-CD. The adsorption isotherms data obtained at the optimum pH 7 were fitted by Langmuir isotherm model. The excellent adsorption properties of β-CD/GPTMS/GO for Cu2+ ions could be attributed to the apolar cavity structure of β-CD, the high surface area and abundant functional groups on the surface of GO. The adsorption patterns of β-CD/GPTMS/GO were electrostatic attraction, formation of host-guest inclusion complexes and the ion exchange adsorption. The efficient adsorption of β-CD/GPTMS/GO for Cu2+ ions suggested that these novel nanocomposites may be ideal candidates for removing other cation pollutants from waste water.

[PMID: 27619963 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2016.09.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2016] [Revised: 08/17/2016] [Accepted: 09/03/2016] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
The present work aims to assess the efficiency of chars, obtained from the gasification and co-pyrolysis of rice wastes, as adsorbents of Cr3+ from aqueous solution. GC and PC chars, produced in the gasification and co-pyrolysis, respectively, of rice husk and polyethylene were studied. Cr3+ removal assays were optimised for the initial pH value, adsorbent mass, contact time and Cr3+ initial concentration. GC showed a better performance than PC with about 100% Cr3+ removal, due to the pH increase that caused Cr precipitation. Under pH conditions in which the adsorption prevailed (pH<5.5), GC presented the highest uptake capacity (21.1mg Cr3+ g-1 char) for the following initial conditions: 50mg Cr3+ L-1; pH 5; contact time: 24h;L/S ratio: 1000mLg-1. The pseudo-second order kinetic model showed the best adjustment to GC experimental data. Both the first and second order kinetic models fitted well to PC experimental data. The ion exchange was the dominant phenomenon on the Cr3+ adsorption by GC sample. Also, this char significantly reduced the ecotoxicity of Cr3+ solutions for the bacterium Vibrio fischeri. GC char proved to be an efficient material to remove Cr3+ from aqueous solution, without the need for further activation.
