Abstract

Abstract Biochar, a green material that possesses high catalytic potential due to its persistent free radicals (PFRs), has attracted increasing attention in the removal of refractory pollutants from water. The influences of biomass types (bamboo, corn stalk, and pig manure) and its compositions (metals and phenolic compounds) on the formation of PFRs in biochar were investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). It was found that the amounts of PFRs in biochar would decrease sharply with the decrease of the initial metals and phenolic compounds existed in biomass, and the effect of metals contents on PFRs formation was much greater than that of phenolic compounds contents. This finding was supported by the results obtained from elemental analysis and molar H/C analysis of three types of biochar, which suggested that pig-manure biochar (PM500) had the highest concentrations of PFRs of 14.13 × 1018 spins·g−1 due to the high content of metals and phenolic compounds in pig manure. The EPR trapping experiment and Linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) measurements in biochar/H2O2 systems showed that OH was the dominant reactive radical and electrons transfer pathways might be responsible for the activation of H2O2 by biochar. Possible degradation pathways of the tetracycline in biochar/H2O2 systems were also proposed. Besides, high degradation efficiency and good stability were observed in real wastewater application of the PM500/H2O2 system. These findings would provide a clearer insight into the formation mechanisms of PFRs in biochar, and also present a better strategy for biochar preparation and application in Fenton-like system.

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.
