Abstract

This work concerns the adsorption of aromatic organic matter from river water using various doses of a simulated biochar. The water yielded five UV 254 peaks associated with organic matters in size exclusion chromatography (SEC), corresponding to molecular weights (MW) of 10,000, 6500, 4800, 3000, and 1500 Da. Biochar removes all of these peaks with an overall adsorption of 6.4 mg-DOC/g-C, and preferentially removes organic matter with high MW. Physisorption control in a pseudo-second-order type model fits the adsorption kinetics. Biochar can therefore be used as an efficient adsorbent of organic matter in water.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
