Preparation of Zn-Doped Amino Functionalized Biochar from Hazardous Waste for Arsenic Removal.
Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology 2019 May 2
The utilization of sludge from Far Eastern Memorial hospital (New Taipei city, Taiwan) wastewater treatment plants as biochar adsorbent was investigated. The sludge was carbonized using microwave carbonization and then chemically activated at high temperatures by using ZnCl₂ to enhance porosity and surface area. A newly designed Zndoped amino-functionalized sludge biochar (Zn-SBC-DETA) presents effective As adsorption in water. The adsorbent was characterized by nitrogen adsorption-desorption, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermogravimetric analysis. Results show that the surface area and average pore volume of Zn-SBC-DETA are 525 m² g-1 and 0.35 cm³ g-1 , respectively. SEM results reveal that Zn-SBC-DETA has uniform pore size. The highest adsorption efficiency of As(III) is 79% at pH 3 with an adsorption capacity of 0.84 mg g-1 . In addition, the adsorption efficiency of As(V) is 98% at pH 3 with an adsorption capacity of 1.43 mg g-1 . The adsorption data can be described well by the Langmuir model rather than by the Freundlich model The data show good compliance with the pseudo second-order equation, and the correlation coefficient for the linear plots is higher than 0.97. Combined with the As species after reacting with Zn-SBC-DETA, the As transformation and adsorption mechanism are also discussed.
