Preparation of Acid- and Alkali-Modified Biochar for Removal of Methylene Blue Pigment
Open accessAbstract
Walnut shell biochar (WSC) and wood powder biochar (WPC) prepared using the limited oxygen pyrolysis process were used as raw materials, and ZnCl2, KOH, H2SO4, and H3PO4 were used to modify them. The evaluation of the liquid-phase adsorption performance using methylene blue (MB) as a pigment model showed that modified biochar prepared from both biomasses had a mesoporous structure, and the pore size of WSC was larger than that of WPC. However, the alkaline modified was more conducive to the formation of pores in the biomass-modified biochar materials; KOH treatment resulted in the highest modified biochar-specific surface area. The isothermal adsorption of MB by the two biomass pyrolysis charcoals conformed to the Freundlich equation, and the adsorption process conformed to the quasi-second-order kinetic equation, which is mainly physical adsorption. The large number of oxygen-containing functional groups on the particle surface provided more adsorption sites for MB adsorption, which was beneficial to the adsorption reactions. The adsorption effects of woody biomass were obviously higher than that of shell biomass, and the adsorption capacities of the two raw materials’ pyrolysis charcoal were in the order of WPC > WSC. The adsorption effects of different treatment reagents on MB were in the order ZnCl2 > KOH > H3PO4 > H2SO4. The maximum adsorption capacities of the two biomass treatments were 850.9 mg/g for WPC with ZnCl2 treatment and 701.3 mg/g for WSC with KOH treatment.

Acid modification increased a large number of oxygen-containing functional groups on biochar.
“Acid modification increased a large number of oxygen-containing functional groups on biochar.”
From Modified biochar: synthesis and mechanism for removal of environmental heavy metals (2022) · cites this paper as Liu et al. 2020b
The FTIR discussion in “Analysis of Physical and Chemical Properties of Biochar” says acid–base modification increased oxygen-containing functional groups on the biochar surface. However, the “XPS Analysis of Biochar” says modified surfaces lost a large number of those groups. The paper therefore supports the claim in one analysis but also reports a contrary finding.

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.
