Removal performance and mechanisms of Cr(VI) by an in-situ self-improvement of mesoporous biochar derived from chicken bone
2020
A high-performance mesoporous biochar (MBCX) was fabricated from chicken bone via a facile and low-energy consumption pyrolysis process without any additional activators and templates. The physicochemical properties of biochar were carried out by elemental compositions, N₂ adsorption-desorption isotherms, FTIR, and TG. The results illustrated that lower carbonization temperature leaded to a lower specific surface area and more polar functional groups. And the meso-structure of biochar was obtained at 350 °C. Combined with the result of batch experiment, Cr(VI) adsorption capacity was decreased with the increasing in pyrolysis temperature, which suggested that the removal performance was depended on the functional groups of mesoporous biochar rather than the surface area. Kinetic analysis showed that the Cr(VI) adsorption process on MBCX was suitable for Elovich kinetic. The experimental data was well explained by Langmuir isotherm models. And the maximum adsorption capacity was 58.195 mg/g, which was higher than that of most report pristine biochars. This work not only paved a way for subsequent mesoporous biochar preparation but also demonstrated the application potentials of MBCX as an environment benign Cr(VI) adsorbent.
