Characterization and Adsorption Capacity of Modified Biochar for Sulfamethylimidine and Methylene Blue in Water.

ABSTRACT: In this study, a composite of pond mud and lanthanum- and nano-zero valent iron-modified-biochar was investigated for its ability to adsorb methylene blue (MB) and sulfamethazine (SMZ). La-modified attapulgite and nano-zero valent iron (surface area enhanced by 43.7% via Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis) were successfully loaded onto the straw-sediment biochar (BC) surface. With the increase in pyrolysis temperature, the biocompatibility yield, the H, O, and N content, and the ratio of carbon elements decreased, while the pH value, surficial micropores, C element, and ash content increased. The biocarbon small molecules were gradually and tightly ordered, and the organic groups such as hydroxyl, carboxyl groups, and carbon oxygen double bonds were gradually lost or disappeared.
