Abstract

We evaluated the production of Spirulina sp. (microalgae)-derived biochars (SPAL-BCs) at different pyrolysis temperatures for the removal of an emerging water contaminant, tetracycline (TC). Physicochemical properties of SPAL-BCs were characterized and related with their capacity to adsorb TC. Increasing pyrolysis temperatures led to higher aromaticity, higher hydrophobicity, and higher specific surface area. In particular, SPAL-BC750 possessed the highest hydrophobicity, various strong crystallizations (i.e., calcite, hydroxyapatite, and rhenanite) and functional groups (i.e., CH2, CN, CO, and CO32-), which may be associated with high TC adsorption. SPAL-BC750 also presented the highest TC adsorption capacity (132.8 mg TC/g biochar) via batch experimentation because of hydrophobic, π-π interactions, functional groups, and metal complexation. The best fitting isotherm and kinetic models of TC adsorption by SPAL-BC750 were the Langmuir and pseudo-first order models, respectively. SPAL-BCs obtained as a by-product of pyrolysis may be an economical and potentially valuable adsorbent for aqueous antibiotic removal.

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.
