Evaluation of nitrate and phosphate adsorption on Al-modified biochar: Influence of Al content

Yin, Qianqian, Ren, Huaipu, Wang, Ruikun, Zhao, Zhenghui·2018·Science of The Total Environment

Abstract

Biochars with different Al contents (i.e., 5, 10, 15, and 20 wt%) were prepared to evaluate their adsorption capacities for nitrate (NO3-) and phosphate (PO43-) from eutrophic water. Several techniques, including N2 adsorption-desorption, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, were applied to characterize the physical-chemical properties of the biochars. We found that the NO3- and PO43- adsorptions significantly improved on the Al-modified biochars because of their multifunctional and surface charge properties. In single-solute adsorption, 15 Al/BC and 20 Al/BC exhibited optimal NO3- and PO43- adsorption capacities, respectively. In bi-solute coadsorption, the PO43- adsorption on the biochar was less affected with the coexistence of NO3-, whereas the coexistence of PO43- had a significant impact on the NO3- adsorption. The optimal solution pH for NO3- adsorption was 6, and pH < 6 was advantageous to PO43- adsorption. In the kinetic study, the pseudo-second-order model could describe the NO3- and PO43- adsorptions on biochar well, indicating that chemical adsorption was the main adsorption mechanism. The Langmuir-Freundlich model agreed well with the NO3- and PO43- adsorptions on the biochars, and the maximum adsorption capacities for NO3- and PO43- reached 89.58 mg/g and 57.49 mg/g, respectively. Therefore, the Al-modified biochar was a good choice for the remediation of eutrophic 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.
