Assessing the efficiency and mechanism of zinc adsorption onto biochars from poultry litter and softwood feedstocks

ABSTRACT: The efficiency and adsorption mechanism of zinc removal was assessed in aqueous solution using four biochars from multiple biomass residues (poultry litter and three tree species). The effect of pH, kinetic effects, and isotherm fittings were investigated, as well as zinc-laden biochar using x-ray diffraction and absorption near edge structure. Sorbent load results showed softwood biochar exhibited the greatest zinc removal from both deionized (15 mgZn/L) and mining influenced river water (10 mgZn/L). The Langmuir isotherm was the best fit for the majority of the biochars. Exchangeable cations contributed most for the adsorption mechanism from the softwood biochars, while precipitation was greatest contribution for the poultry litter biochar. Overall, our results suggest that biochars from Douglas Fir trees are more efficient at removing zinc from aqueous solutions (up to 19.80 mgZn/g) compared to previously studied biochars (0.61 to 11.0 mgZn/g) and should be used for future remediation efforts.

Locust bean gum adsorption onto softwood kraft pulp fibres: isotherms, kinetics and paper strength.

Project description:The adsorption of locust bean gum (LBG) onto Northern Bleached Softwood Kraft (NBSK) pulp improved paper tensile and burst strength and lowered refining energy by strengthening inter-fibre bonding. Adsorption kinetics and isotherms were investigated to develop a fundamental understanding of the adsorption mechanism. The adsorption rate followed pseudo-second-order kinetics and the activation energy was 99.34 kJ·mol-1, suggesting chemisorption. The adsorption rate constant increased rapidly with temperature from 25 to 45 °C (k = 1.93 to 24.03 g·mg-1·min-1), but the amount adsorbed at equilibrium decreased (q e = 1.91 to 0.48 mg·g-1 o.d. fibre). LBG adsorption to NBSK at 25 °C was consistent with the Langmuir adsorption model for LBG < 2.1 wt% of o.d. fibre, suggesting reversible, homogenous adsorption to a finite number of sites on the fibre surface. Refining to 3000 rev increased the heterogeneity of the NBSK pulp surface leading to multi-layer Freundlich adsorption with adsorption constant n = 5.00, and the equilibrium constant K f = 2.57 mg·g-1·(mg·L-1)-1/n at 25 °C. Favorable adsorption conditions for negatively charged LBG were identified: 25 °C for 10 min, low dosage level (< 2 wt%), lightly refined (< 3000 rev) NBSK pulp at low fibre consistency (< 0.5 wt%), high agitation rate (> 150 r.p.m.), acidic or neutral conditions (pH 2-7) without salt addition.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10570-021-04133-w.

Hydrocarbons removal from synthetic bilge water by adsorption onto biochars of dead Posidonia oceanica.

Project description:Bilge waters are wastewaters produced on boats during navigation and usually contain hydrocarbons and oils. They cannot be directly released into the sea if not below a hydrocarbons concentration limit set by current legislation. Appropriate oil in water separator (OWS) systems can be installed on board boats to remove hydrocarbons from bilge water allowing their spillage into the sea. These systems may contain an adsorption step on a suitable adsorbent. Here, biochars produced from pyrolysis of dead Posidonia oceanica, pristine or chemically activated, have been tested as hydrocarbons adsorbents. Adsorption experiments with aqueous dispersions simulating bilge waters containing a marine gas oil (MGO) fuel for boats, a surfactant, and different NaCl concentrations were carrying out. The hydrocarbons concentrations before and after adsorption have been directly measured by using the reverse phase HPLC technique coupled with a fluorescence detector. These measurements are very fast and their reliability was verified by re-measuring the hydrocarbons concentrations of some samples with the GC-MS-MS technique, according to one of the traditional methods for hydrocarbons determination in emulsions. Different isotherm equations were used to fit the adsorption data. The biochars were characterized from the chemical-structural point of view by means of several instrumental techniques.

Competitive Adsorption of Caffeine and Diclofenac Sodium onto Biochars Derived from Fique Bagasse: An Immersion Calorimetry Study.

Project description:Pharmaceuticals, including caffeine (CFN) and diclofenac sodium (DCF), are a group of emerging pollutants which have the capacity to prompt harmful effects in flora and fauna, even at relatively low concentrations. Additionally, CFN has been determined as one of the most ubiquitous active compounds in the natural environment, whereas DCF is a widely used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that has been detected in environmental sources around the world. Conversely, the fique is a plant of the Agavaceae family and of the Fucraea genus.Two native species are cultivated in Colombia, Furcraea cabuya and Furcrae macrophylla, in order to extract their fiber, but in this process a lot of waste is produced. In this study, with the fique residues, thermochemical treatments were carried out and 5 biochar samples were obtained, which were calorimetrically characterized and used to investigate their behavior in competitive adsorption of DCF and CFN. The results of the calorimetric studies show that the biochar prepared from fique bagasse have different porous and chemical characteristics, which is related to the different treatments that were used at the time of their preparation. In addition, it was established that the results of the adsorbate-adsorbent interactions determined by calorimetry allow correlation of the adsorption processes of the molecules under study (CFN and DCF). The results show that the NaOH fique biochar (FB850-3Na) presents the highest adsorption capacity in both simple and competitive tests.

Early response of the fungus Pycnoporus coccineus to softwood and hardwood feedstocks

Project description:White-rot basidiomycete fungi are potent degraders of plant biomass with the ability to mineralize all lignocellulose components. Recent comparative genomics studies showed that these fungi use a wide diversity of enzymes for wood degradation. Deeper functional analyses are however necessary to understand the enzymatic mechanisms leading to lignocellulose breakdown. The Polyporale fungus Pycnoporus coccineus CIRM-BRFM310 grows well on both coniferous and deciduous wood. In the present study we analyzed the early response of the fungus to softwood (pine) and hardwood (aspen) feedstocks.

High-Efficiency Removal of Cr(VI) from Wastewater by Mg-Loaded Biochars: Adsorption Process and Removal Mechanism.

Project description:Biochars were produced with magnesium chloride as an additive for the sorption of hexavalent chromium dissolved in water using five types of straw (from taro, corn, cassava, Chinese fir, and banana) and one type of shell (Camellia oleifera) as the raw materials. The removal of hexavalent chromium by the six biochars mainly occurred within 60 min and then gradually stabilized. The kinetics of the adsorption process were second order, the Langmuir model was followed, and the adsorption of Cr(VI) by the six biochars was characterized by Langmuir monolayer chemisorption on a heterogeneous surface. Banana straw biochar (BSB) had the best performance, which perhaps benefitted from its special structure and best adsorption effect on Cr(VI), and the theoretical adsorption capacity was calculated as 125.00 mg/g. For the mechanism analysis, Mg-loaded biochars were characterized before and after adsorption by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). The adsorption mechanism differed from the adsorption process of conventional magnetic biochar, and biochar interactions with Cr(VI) were controlled mainly by electrostatic attraction, complexation, and functional group bonding. In summary, the six Mg-loaded biochars exhibit great potential advantages in removing Cr(VI) from wastewater and have promising potential for practical use, especially BSB, which shows super-high adsorption performance.

Assessing the Potential of Biochars Prepared by Steam-Assisted Slow Pyrolysis for CO<sub>2</sub> Adsorption and Separation.

Project description:The potentialities in the use of biochars prepared by steam-assisted slow pyrolysis as adsorbents of gases of strategic interest (N2, CO2, and CH4) and their mixtures were explored. The biochars prepared from Populus nigra wood and cellulose fibers exhibited a narrow microporosity, with average pore sizes ranging between 0.55 and 0.6 nm. The micropore volume increased with the pyrolysis temperature, allowing CO2 and CH4 uptakes at room temperature between 1.5 and 2.5 mmol/g and between 0.1 and 0.5 mmol/g, respectively. These values are in line with those from the literature on biomass-derived carbon-based materials, exhibiting much higher porous features than those reported herein. As for the separation of CO2/N2 and CO2/CH4 gas mixtures, data showed that the prepared biochars exhibited good selectivities for CO2 over both N2 and CH4: between ca. 34 and 119 for a CO2/N2 mixture in typical post-combustion conditions (15:85, v/v) and between 14 and 34 for a CO2/CH4 mixture typical of natural gas upgrading (30:70, v/v).

Impacts of poultry house environment on poultry litter bacterial community composition.

Project description:Viral and bacterial pathogens are a significant economic concern to the US broiler industry and the ecological epicenter for poultry pathogens is the mixture of bedding material, chicken excrement and feathers that comprises the litter of a poultry house. This study used high-throughput sequencing to assess the richness and diversity of poultry litter bacterial communities, and to look for connections between these communities and the environmental characteristics of a poultry house including its history of gangrenous dermatitis (GD). Cluster analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed differences in the distribution of bacterial phylotypes between Wet and Dry litter samples and between houses. Wet litter contained greater diversity with 90% of total bacterial abundance occurring within the top 214 OTU clusters. In contrast, only 50 clusters accounted for 90% of Dry litter bacterial abundance. The sixth largest OTU cluster across all samples classified as an Arcobacter sp., an emerging human pathogen, occurring in only the Wet litter samples of a house with a modern evaporative cooling system. Ironically, the primary pathogenic clostridial and staphylococcal species associated with GD were not found in any house; however, there were thirteen 16S rRNA gene phylotypes of mostly gram-positive phyla that were unique to GD-affected houses and primarily occurred in Wet litter samples. Overall, the poultry house environment appeared to substantially impact the composition of litter bacterial communities and may play a key role in the emergence of food-borne pathogens.
