Abstract

In this work, the cellulose-enriched mesocarp of tangerine peels (TP) and the lignin-enriched epicarp of the peels (e-TPs) were used as examples to unveil the link between the basic components (cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin) in lignocellulosic biomass and catalytic activity of biochar towards peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. The TP biochar exhibits sheet-like morphology and high porosity, while the e-TPs biochar shows a bulk morphology. Accordingly, the former outperformed the latter in terms of catalytic degradation of phenol with PMS, attributing to the higher content of cellulose than lignin in the TP precursor, which was further supported by comparing the catalytic activity of biochar prepared from binary mixtures containing different proportions of cellulose and lignin. Nonradical oxidation pathway based on singlet oxygen (1O2) and electron-transfer mechanism was involved in the TP biochar/PMS system and the key role of CO group in biochar for 1O2 generation was computationally demonstrated. Additionally, the unique porous structure and surface chemistry of TP biochar endows it an excellent adsorbent for various organic pollutants. Herein, this work provides an insight into the effect of lignocellulosic biomass source on the catalytic property of biochar, which would be beneficial to screen lignocellulosic biowastes to prepare high-performance biochar for water remediation.

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.
