Removal of Fluoride from Water Using a Calcium-Modified Dairy Manure-Derived Biochar.

ABSTRACT: This study investigated the removal of fluoride from water using a calcium-modified dairy manure-derived biochar (Ca-DM500). The Ca-DM500 showed a 3.82 - 8.86 times higher removal of fluoride from water than the original (uncoated) manure-derived biochar (DM500). This is primarily attributed to strong precipitation/complexation between fluoride and calcium. The Freundlich and Redlich-Peterson sorption isotherm models better described the experimental data than the Langmuir model. Additionally, the removal kinetics were well described by the intraparticle diffusion model. The Ca-DM500 showed high reactivity per unit surface area [0.0001, 0.03, 0.16 mg F per m² for Douglas fir-derived biochar (DF-BC), DM500. and Ca-DM500, respectively] for retention of fluoride reflecting the importance of surface complexation. The copresence of anions reduced removal by Ca-DM500 in the order SO42-≈PO43->NO3- . The sorption behavior of fluoride in a continuous fixed-bed column was consistent with the Thomas model. Column studies demonstrated that the Ca-DM500 shows a strong affinity for fluoride, a low release potential, and a stable (unreduced) removal capacity through regeneration and reuse cycles.

Simultaneous removal of fluoride and arsenic in geothermal water in Tibet using modified yak dung biochar as an adsorbent.

Project description:Fluoride (F) and arsenic (As) are two typical and harmful elements that are found in high concentrations in geothermal water in Tibet. In this work, yak dung, an abundant source of biomass energy in Tibet, was made into biochars (BC1, BC2 and BC3) by pyrolysis under different conditions, and the better biochar was modified by FeCl2 (Fe-BC3). The adsorption conditions were optimized to adsorb F and As in geothermal water. The results showed that BC3 can remove 90% F- and 20% As(V), which is the best effect of the three initial biochars. Fe-BC3 could remove 94% F- and 99.45% As(V) under the same conditions as BC3, which was an adsorbent dosage 10 g l-1, pH 5-6 and temperature of 25°C. It was also demonstrated that the removal rate did not decrease at 80°C. A quasi-second-order kinetic model best described the adsorption behaviour of ions on the surface of the biochar. The maximum adsorption capacity of F- and As(V) on Fe-BC3 was 3.928 mg g-1 and 2.926 mg g-1, respectively. The features of Fe-BC3 were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, energy-dispersive spectrometer and scanning electron microscopy to understand the adsorption process.

Modified Crushed Oyster Shells for Fluoride Removal from Water.

Project description:Elevated concentrations of fluoride ions (F-) in natural groundwater are a worldwide problem. Discarded oyster shells were ground to ?100?µm particle size to produce oyster shell powder (OS). A subset of the OS was heated to produce calcined oyster shell (COS). A subset of the COS was further treated with 1?M phosphoric acid to produce phosphoric-acid-treated oyster shell (POS). OS and COS were combined with phosphoric acid (1.6?mM and 3.2?mM) to produce OS?+?P (oyster shell with phosphoric acid) and COS?+?P (calcined oyster shell with phosphoric acid). OS and COS removed 46% and 50% (10?g/L of sorbent dose) but POS, OS?+?P and COS?+?P removed 96%, 100% and 76% (1?g/L of sorbent dose) when the initial concentration of fluoride was 10?mg/L. The sorption kinetics of POS, OS?+?P and COS?+?P followed second-order reaction rates, and sorption isotherms of all sorbents were well-described by the Freundlich sorption isotherm. These results indicate that oyster shells can be an effective sorbent for fluoride removal, with the added benefit of re-use of a waste product.

Enhanced Removal of Malachite Green Using Calcium-Functionalized Magnetic Biochar.

Project description:To efficiently remove malachite green (MG), a novel calcium-functionalized magnetic biochar (Ca/MBC) was fabricated via a two-step pyrolysis method. Iron-containing oxides endowed the target complexes with magnetic properties, especially the chemotactic binding ability with MG, and the addition of calcium significantly changed the morphology of the material and improved its adsorption performance, especially the chemotactic binding ability with MG, which could be confirmed through FTIR, XPS, and adsorption experiments. Electrostatic adsorption, ligand exchange, and hydrogen bonding acted as essential drivers for an enhanced adsorption process, and the maximum theoretical adsorption capacity was up to 12,187.57 mg/g. Ca/MBC maintained a higher adsorption capacity at pH = 4-12, and after five adsorption-desorption cycles, the adsorption capacity and adsorption rate of MG remained at 1424.2 mg/g and 71.21%, highlighting the advantages of Ca/MBC on adsorbing MG. This study suggests that biochar can be modified by a green synthesis approach to produce calcium-functionalized magnetic biochar with excellent MG removal capacity. The synthetic material can not only remove pollutants from water but also provide an efficient way for soil remediation.

Enhanced Removal of Heavy Metals from Water by Hydrous Ferric Oxide-Modified Biochar.

Project description:Biochar has become an attractive adsorbent for heavy metal removal, but its application potential is very limited because of the relatively low adsorption capacity and poor selectivity. In the present study, we decorated the biochar (BC) by impregnating hydrous ferric oxide (HFO) within the pore of biochar and consequently obtained a new hybrid adsorbent denoted as HFO-BC. The results show HFO-BC exhibited excellent performance to two representative heavy metals, i.e., Cd(II) and Cu(II), with maximal experimental sorption capacities of 29.9 mg/g for Cd(II) and 34.1 mg/g for Cu(II). HFO-BC showed satisfactory anti-interference ability for Cd(II) and Cu(II) removal in the presence of high levels of Ca(II) and Mg(II) owing to the specific inner-sphere complexation between the immobilized HFO and Cd(II) and Cu(II), which was probed by XPS analysis. Cd(II) and Cu(II) removal onto HFO-BC experienced two distinct stages prior to be adsorbed, i.e., migration from solution to the outside surface of adsorbent and pore diffusion and approached equilibrium within 100 min. In the laboratory-scale small column adsorption experiment, HFO-BC can generate ∼129 and 300 BV effluents for Cd(II) and Cu(II), equivalent to 774- and 1854-fold of its own weight, to meet their treatment standards. Moreover, the exhausted HFO-BC can be effectively regenerated using HCl-CaCl2 binary solution with a desorption rate more than 95%. All results validate that impregnating HFO inside the pores of BC is a promising approach to promote the practical applicability of BC for removing heavy metals from the polluted water.

Effect of different pyrolysis temperatures on physico-chemical characteristics and lead(ii) removal of biochar derived from chicken manure.

Project description:Biochar derived from chicken manure, as an effective metal adsorbent, was prepared through a pyrolysis method at different pyrolytic temperatures (200, 400, 600, and 800 °C). The physicochemical characteristics of chicken manure biochar (CMB) and its lead (Pb2+) adsorption mechanisms were studied by batch adsorption experiments, DTA/TGA, XRD, SEM-EDS, FTIR and an analysis of the composition of their mineral ash. Results showed that the best-fit for the Pb2+ adsorption data was achieved using a Langmuir isotherm and a pseudo-second-order model. The maximum adsorption capacities of Pb2+ increased with increasing of pyrolytic temperatures of the CMB, being 180.21, 200.80, 239.59, and 242.57 mg g-1, respectively, for CMB-200, CMB-400, CMB-600 and CMB-200. Although Pb2+ adsorption on CMB revealed that adsorption was controlled by multiple mechanisms, (e.g. surface complexation, ion exchange, surface precipitation, electrostatic attraction, physical adsorption, and co-precipitation), the ion exchange and surface precipitation played a dominant role in Pb2+ sorption. Using CMB for the removal of Pb from water is proposed as an effective, environmentally protective, novel approach.

Removal mechanism of phosphorus in water by calcium hydroxide modified copper tailings.

Project description:With the development of industry and agriculture, eutrophication caused by increasing amounts of phosphorus in the environment has attracted people's attention. On the other hand, copper tailings (CT) is a kind of solid waste with large quantity, large area, and easy to cause groundwater and soil pollution. CT is also a potential resource because of its large specific surface area. CT is intended to be used as an adsorbent for removal phosphate in water, but trace heavy metals and a small amount of phosphate in CT may bring negative effects. Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) was used to modify CT (CCT), hoping to fix the heavy metals and phosphate in CT at the same time. It was found that the removal capacity of CCT was significantly higher than that of CT. The process of phosphate removal by CCT involves electrostatic sorption and surface precipitation, and there is a synergistic effect between CT and Ca(OH)2. The phosphate removal rate of CCT-0.4 increased with the increase of pH value under alkaline conditions. The XRD patterns of phosphate sorption by CCT mean that Ca3(PO4)2, Ca5(PO4)3(OH) and AlPO4 exist in CCT after phosphate removal, indicating that surface precipitation occurs during the removal process. In summary, the removal mechanism of phosphate by CCT is mainly electrostatic attraction and surface precipitation.

Removal of Chromium (VI) by a Magnetic Nanoscale Zerovalent Iron-Assisted Chicken Manure-Derived Biochar: Adsorption Behavior and Synergetic Mechanism.

Project description:Using chicken manure as raw material to prepare activated carbon as a dispersant, a novel biochar-loaded nano-zerovalent iron composite (nZVI@CMBC) was developed and applied to remove hexavalent chromium, i.e., Cr(VI), in wastewater. The dispersion of nano-zerovalent iron (nZVI) particles on the surface of chicken manure-derived biochar (CMBC) successfully inhibited the aggregation of magnetic iron particles and effectively reduced the size of nZVI particles. The results demonstrated that under acidic conditions, the removal efficiency of Cr(VI) by the nZVI@CMBC composite could reach 124.12 mg g-1. The pseudosecond-order kinetic model had a good agreement with the adsorption kinetics of the nZVI@CMBC composite, implying that the adsorption of Cr(VI) is based on the multi-layer chemical adsorption. Therefore, this study provides a new clue and strategy for removing Cr(VI) in wastewater.

Effective Removal of Cr(VI) from Wastewater Using Biochar Derived from Walnut Shell.

Project description:Heavy metals are the major concern of the modern age. Among the heavy metals, chromium (Cr(VI)) is regarded as a highly toxic heavy metal released largely from leather tanning operations. To remove such high concentrations of Cr(VI), an advanced method is required urgently. Thus, biosorption using biochar, which is an organic material produced from various sources such as walnut shell, can be applied successfully for Cr(VI) abatement. The major objectives of this experiment were the remediation of the Cr(VI) heavy metal using walnut shell biochar and checking of the effect of pH, biochar dosage, Cr level, and shaking time. Remediation of Cr(VI) using walnut shell biochar was proved to be effective and removed the maximum concentration of Cr(VI) up to 93% at pH 5.5, 2 h agitation time, and the biochar amount of 1.1 g L-1 from an aqueous solution. Equilibrium modeling demonstrated that the chemisorption process was involved in adsorption of Cr(VI). The surface of the biochar was porous and provided numerous sites for Cr(VI) attachment, which was also confirmed by the presence of Cr(VI) onto the biochar after adsorption. Hence, the use of walnut shell biochar was highly effective as a sorbent, which could conveniently be applied to small-scale as well as large-scale levels.

Escherichia coli Removal in Biochar-Modified Biofilters: Effects of Biofilm.

Project description:The presence of microbial contaminants in urban stormwater is a significant concern for public health; however, their removal by traditional stormwater biofilters has been reported as inconsistent and inadequate. Recent work has explored the use of biochar to improve performance of stormwater biofilters under simplified conditions that do not consider potential effects of biofilm development on filter media. The present study investigates the role of biofilm on microbial contaminant removal performance of stormwater biofilters. Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms were formed in laboratory-scale sand and biochar-modified sand packed columns, which were then challenged with Escherichia coli laden synthetic stormwater containing natural organic matter. Results suggests that the presence of biofilm influences the removal of E. coli. However, the nature of the influence depends on the specific surface area and the relative hydrophobicity of filter media. The distribution of attached bacteria within the columns indicates that removal by filter media varies along the length of the column: the inlet was the primary removal zone regardless of experimental conditions. Findings from this research inform the design of field-scale biofilters for better and consistent performance in removing microbial contaminants from urban stormwater.

A Stable Fe-Zn Modified Sludge-Derived Biochar for Diuron Removal: Kinetics, Isotherms, Mechanism, and Practical Research.

Project description:To remove typical herbicide diuron effectively, a novel sludge-derived modified biochar (SDMBC600) was prepared using sludge-derived biochar (SDBC600) as raw material and Fe-Zn as an activator and modifier in this study. The physico-chemical properties of SDMBC600 and the adsorption behavior of diuron on the SDMBC600 were studied systematically. The adsorption mechanisms as well as practical applications of SDMBC600 were also investigated and examined. The results showed that the SDMBC600 was chemically loaded with Fe-Zn and SDMBC600 had a larger specific surface area (204 m2/g) and pore volume (0.0985 cm3/g). The adsorption of diuron on SDMBC600 followed pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Langmuir isotherm model, with a maximum diuron adsorption capacity of 17.7 mg/g. The biochar could maintain a good adsorption performance (8.88-12.9 mg/g) under wide water quality conditions, in the pH of 2-10 and with the presence of humic acid and six typical metallic ions of 0-20 mg/L. The adsorption mechanisms of SDMBC600 for diuron were found to include surface complexation, π-π binding, hydrogen bonding, as well as pore filling. Additionally, the SDMBC600 was tested to be very stable with very low Fe and Zn leaching concentration ≤0.203 mg/L in the wide pH range. In addition, the SDMBC600 could maintain a high adsorption capacity (99.6%) after four times of regeneration and therefore, SDMBC600 could have a promising application for diuron removal in water treatment.
