Immobilization of Ochrobactrum sp. on Biochar/Clay Composite Particle: Optimization of Preparation and Performance for Nitrogen Removal.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to prepare biochar/clay composite particle (BCCP) as carrier to immobilize Ochrobactrum sp. to degrade ammonia nitrogen (NH₄ ⁺-N), and the effects of calcined program and immobilizing material were investigated. Results reflected that the parameters were as follows: calcined temperature 400°C, heating rate 20°C min^-1, and holding time 2 h, and the adsorption capacity could reach 0.492 mg g^-1. Sodium alginate/polyvinyl alcohol, as embedding material, jointed with NH₄ ⁺-N adsorption process and then degraded by Ochrobactrum sp. with 79.39% degradation efficiency at 168 h. Immobilizing Ochrobactrum sp. could protect strain from high salt concentration to achieve the exceeding degradation efficiency than free bacteria, but could not block the impact of low temperature.

Preparation of Biochar Composite Microspheres and Their Ability for Removal with Oil Agents in Dyed Wastewater.

Project description:Oil agents produced from the degreasing treatment of synthetic fibers are typical pollutants in wastewater from printing and dyeing, which may cause large-scale environmental pollution without proper treatment. Purifying oily dye wastewater (DTY) at a low cost is a key problem at present. In this study, biochar microspheres with oil removal ability were prepared and derived from waste bamboo chips using the hydrothermal method. The structure of the biochar microsphere was regulated by activation and modification processes. Biochar microspheres were characterized, and their adsorption behaviors for oily dye wastewater were explored. The results show that the adsorption efficiency of biochar microspheres for oily dye wastewater (DTY) was improved significantly after secondary pyrolysis and the lauric acid grafting reaction. The maximum COD removal quantity of biochar microspheres for DTY was 889 mg/g with a removal rate of 86.06% in 30 min. In addition, the kinetics showed that chemisorption was the main adsorption manner. Considering the low cost of raw materials, the application of biochar microspheres could decrease the cost of oily wastewater treatment and avoid environmental pollution.

Evaluation of Nanomagnetite-Biochar Composite for BTA Removal.

Project description:In this study, the removal of benzotriazole (BTA), a pervasive aquatic contaminant widely used for its anti-corrosion, UV-stabilizing, and antioxidant properties, by nanomagnetite, biochar, and nanomagnetite-biochar composite is investigated. Nanomagnetite and nanomagnetite-biochar composite were synthesized under anoxic conditions and tested for BTA removal efficiency at neutral pH under both oxic and anoxic conditions at different time scales. Within the short time scale (up to 8 h), the removal of BTA by nanomagnetite-biochar composite was shown to be due to BTA deprotonation by the nanomagnetite surface. Through proton liberation, Fe²⁺ is released in accordance with the reaction Fe₃O₄ + 2H⁺ → Fe₂O₃ + Fe²⁺ + H₂O, which likely influences BTA complexation and its possible redox degradation. On the longer time scale, biochar achieved higher removal efficiency: 50% BTA removed within 48 h, due to formation of a ternary complex with surface Ca2+ ions, or 75% BTA removed after HCl biochar acid wash followed by Ca2+ surface saturation. As BTA presents significant environmental risks due to its extensive industrial applications, the present study offers critical insights into the mechanisms of BTA removal by nanomagnetite-biochar composite, and highlights the potential of such materials for water treatment applications.

Application of BCXZM Composite for Arsenic Removal: EPS Production, Biotransformation and Immobilization of Bacillus XZM on Corn Cobs Biochar.

Project description:This study determined the effect of Bacillus XZM extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) production on the arsenic adsorption capacity of the Biochar-Bacillus XZM (BCXZM) composite. The Bacillus XZM was immobilized on corn cobs multifunction biochar to generate the BCXZM composite. The arsenic adsorption capacity of BCXZM composite was optimized at different pHs and As(V) concentrations using a central composite design (CCD)22 and maximum adsorption capacity (42.3 mg/g) was attained at pH 6.9 and 48.9 mg/L As(V) dose. The BCXZM composite showed a higher arsenic adsorption than biochar alone, which was further confirmed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs, EXD graph and elemental overlay as well. The bacterial EPS production was sensitive to the pH, which caused a major shift in the -NH, -OH, -CH, -C=O, -C-N, -SH, -COO and aromatic/-NO2 peaks of FTIR spectra. Regarding the techno economic analysis, it was revealed that USD 6.24 are required to prepare the BCXZM composite to treat 1000 gallons of drinking water (with 50 µg/L of arsenic). Our findings provide insights (such as adsorbent dose, optimum operating temperature and reaction time, and pollution load) for the potential application of the BCXZM composite as bedding material in fixed-bed bioreactors for the bioremediation of arsenic-contaminated water in future.

Nitrogen Removal from Landfill Leachate Using Biochar Derived from Wheat Straw.

Project description:Landfill leachate (LLCH) disposal poses challenges due to high pollutant concentrations. This study investigates the use of biochar (BC) derived from wheat straw for nitrogen content reduction. Laboratory experiments evaluated BC's adsorption capacity (qm) for nitrogen removal from ammonium chloride solution (NH4Cl) and LLCH, along with testing isotherm models. The results demonstrated that BC was more efficient (95.08%) than commercial activated carbon AC (93.11%), the blank, in adsorbing nitrogen from NH4Cl. This superior performance of BC may be attributed to its higher carbon content (57.74%) observed through elemental analysis. Lower results for BC/LLCH may be due to LLCH's complex chemical matrix. The Langmuir isotherm model best described BC/NH4Cl adsorption (qm = 0.5738 mg/g). The AC/NH4Cl data also fitted into the Langmuir (R2 ˃ 0.9) with a qm of 0.9469 mg/g, and 26.667 mg/g (R2 ˂ 0.9) was obtained for BC/LLCH; the BC/LLCH also gave higher qm (R2 ˃ 0.9) using the Jovanovich model (which also follows Langmuir's assumptions). The mean energy of the adsorption values estimated for the AC/NH4Cl, BC/NH4Cl, and BC/LLCH processes were 353.55, 353.55, and 223.61 kJ/mol, respectively, suggesting that they are all chemisorption processes and ion exchange influenced their adsorption processes. The Freundlich constant (1/n) value suggests average adsorption for BC/LLCH. The BC/LLCH data followed the Harkins-Jura model (R2: 0.9992), suggesting multilayered adsorption (or mesopore filling). In conclusion, biochar derived from wheat straw shows promising potential for landfill leachate remediation, offering efficient nitrogen removal capabilities and demonstrating compatibility with various adsorption models. This research also lays the groundwork for further exploration of other biochar-based materials in addressing environmental challenges associated with landfill leachate contamination.

A Biochar-Based Route for Environmentally Friendly Controlled Release of Nitrogen: Urea-Loaded Biochar and Bentonite Composite.

Project description:Biochar-based fertilizers have attracted increased attention, because biochar can improve the soil fertility, promote plant growth and crop yield. However, biochar-based controlled release nitrogen fertilizers (BCRNFs) still face problems because of the high cost, inefficient production technology, instability of nitrides, and the challenge associated with the controlled release of nutrients. In this study, we hydrothermally synthesised novel BCRNFs using urea-loaded biochar, bentonite and polyvinyl alcohol for controlled release of nutrients. Scanning electron microscopy and gas adsorption were conducted to identify the urea-loading and storage of bentonite in the inner pores of the biochar particles. X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic studies demonstrated that strengthening the interactions among biochar, urea, and bentonite, helps control the moisture diffusion and penetration of bentonite, thereby leading to nutrient retention. The BCRNF showed significantly improved nutrient release characteristic compared with that of a mixture of biochar and urea. This urea-bentonite composite loaded with urea provides control over the release of nutrients stored in the biochar. BCRNF, especially those produced hydrothermally, can have potential applications in sustainable food security and green agriculture.

Coconut husk-raw clay-Fe composite: preparation, characteristics and mechanisms of Congo red adsorption.

Project description:The release of unspent dyes from industries constitutes hazard and environmental challenges. For rapid and efficient removal of Congo red from aqueous solutions, a composite was prepared from coconut husk, raw clay, Fe(II) and Fe(II) compounds. Adsorption variables (initial pH of the solution, contact time, temperature and initial concentration of Congo red) were varied to understand the characteristics and mechanisms of the adsorption process. The composite was characterised using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)-Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm, X-ray Diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy and pH of the point zero charge (pHpzc). The optimal values of the pH, equilibrium time and temperature for adsorption of Congo red by the composite are 2, 40 min and 50 °C, respectively. The kinetic and equilibrium data followed Avrami fractional order and Langmuir models, respectively. A 1.0 g of the composite could maximally take up 1649.3 mg of Congo red at 50 °C. The values of ΔG° are in the range of - 27.901 to - 24.492 kJ mol-1 while the value of ΔH° is - 72.239 kJ mol-1. Hence, the removal of the Congo red by the composite was spontaneous, feasible and exothermic. The adsorption process was biphasic and followed physisorption process. Electrostatic interaction played a significant role in the removal of Congo red by the composite. The combine data in this study have proven that the clay composite, a cheap adsorbent, can be used for remediation of water contaminated with Congo red.

Highly selective removal of thallous ions from wastewater using Prussian Blue biochar composite.

Project description:Thallium, a highly toxic pollutant, shows greater toxicity to human than other common heavy metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium and its effective removal from wastewater gains great attention. The main restriction for the Tl+ removal is the interference of a high concentration of co-existing ions in wastewater. Therefore, the goal of the current work was to synthesis adsorbent with high selectivity for the Tl+ removal. Herein, the pore size sieving strategy was proposed and Prussian blue-impregnated biochar (BC@PB) particles was synthesized. More than 95% Tl+ can be removed even the concentrations of the coexistence ions (Na+, Cd2+, and Zn2+) 1,000 higher than the initial concentration of Tl+ (500 μg/L). BC@PB also showed large adsorption capacity (9365 μg/g) and more than 99% Tl+ (initial concentration, 500 μg/L) were removed in just 1 min. The BC@PB had excellent and stable Tl+ removal ability (> 99%) over a range of pH from 3 to 9, which covered the pH range of common thallium-containing wastewater. The density functional theory (DFT) calculation confirmed that not only hydrated volume but also the hydration free energy of ions, which governed the energy barrier for ions entering into narrow channels of BC@PB, played essential roles on the selectivity removal of Tl+. Overall, due to its high selectivity, high adsorption capacity and easy preparation process, the synthesized BC@PB particles based on the pore sizing sieving strategy, can be a promising candidate for the removal of thallium from wastewater.

Biochar Composite with Enhanced Performance Prepared Through Microbial Modification for Water Pollutant Removal.

Project description:This study developed mycelial biochar composites, BQH-AN and BQH-MV, with stable physicochemical properties and significantly improved adsorption capabilities through microbial modification. The results showed that the specific surface area and porosity of BQH-AN (3547.47 m2 g-1 and 2.37 cm3 g-1) and BQH-MV (3205.59 m2 g-1 and 2.46 cm3 g-1) were significantly higher than those of biochar BQH (2641.31 m2 g-1 and 1.81 cm3 g-1), which was produced without microbial treatment. In adsorption experiments using rhodamine B (RhB), tetracycline hydrochloride (TC), and Cr (VI), BQH-AN showed maximum adsorption capacities of 1450.79 mg g-1 for RhB, 1608.43 mg g-1 for TC, and 744.15 mg g-1 for Cr(VI). BQH-MV showed similarly strong performance, with 1329.85 mg g-1 for RhB, 1526.46 mg g-1 for TC, and 752.27 mg g-1 for Cr(VI). These values were not only higher than those of BQH but also outperformed most other biochar adsorbents. Additionally, after five reuse cycles, the pollutant removal efficiency of the mycelial biochar composites remained above 69%, demonstrating excellent regenerative ability. This study not only produced biochar with superior adsorption properties but also highlighted microbial modification as an effective way to enhance lignocellulosic biochar performance, paving the way for further biomass development.

Immobilization of laccase on magnetically separable biochar for highly efficient removal of bisphenol A in water.

Project description:Laccase was stably immobilized on a cost effective and nanosized magnetic biochar (L-MBC) by adsorption, precipitation and crosslinking, and it was used for high performance BPA removal. A large amount of enzyme could be immobilized on the magnetic biochar with high activity (2.251 U per mg MBC), and the L-MBC could be magnetically separated from the aqueous solution in 20 seconds. The successful immobilization of laccase was also confirmed via FTIR, SEM, and EDS analyses. The L-MBC presented better storage and stability performances, pH tolerance and thermal stability than the free laccase. It was found that BPA with an initial concentration of 25 mg L-1 could be thoroughly removed within 75 min, where BPA removal was attributed to enzymatic degradation and adsorption. In addition, the BPA removal efficiency by the L-MBC could be maintained above 85% even after seven cycles of repeated use. Due to high stability and efficient recyclability, the L-MBC-based biocatalyst has the potential to be a reliable method for treating BPA in environmental water sources.
