Abstract
Pyrolysis is a promising method to treat antibiotic fermentation residue (AFR), a hazardous waste in China, with the benefits of detoxification and resource recycling. However, the application of the AFR-derived biochar has been limited yet, restricting the use of pyrolysis to treat AFR. Herein, for the first time, we reported the use of magnetic biochars derived from vancomycin fermentation residue to rapidly and efficiently co-adsorb multiple heavy metals from diverse types of water with complex matrices. The biochar prepared at 700 °C (labeled as VBC700) exhibited high affinity and selectivity for multiple heavy metals, especially for Ag(I), Hg(II), Pb(II), and Cu(II). The kinetics for Ag(I), Hg(II), and Pb(II) were ultrafast with an equilibrium time of only 5 min, while those for Cu(II) were relatively slower. The maximum adsorption capacity calculated from the Langmuir model for Ag(I), Hg(II), Pb(II), and Cu(II) reached 177.4, 105.9, 387.1, 124.5 mg/g, respectively, which were superior to much previously reported adsorbents. Impressively, Na(I), K(I), Ca(II), Mg(II), and salinity did not affect the capture of these heavy metals, and thus >99% of Ag(I), Pb(II), and Cu(II) were concurrently removed from complex water matrices including seawater, which has rarely been reported before. Furthermore, VBC700 remained high adsorption performance at pH ≥ 3. The adsorption mechanisms included ion exchange, precipitation, and inner-sphere complexation. Overall, the results demonstrate that VBC700 would be an excellent adsorbent to co-capture multiple heavy metals from diverse types of water, highlighting the feasibility of using pyrolysis to achieve a win-win goal for AFR management and heavy metal pollution control.

Abstract
Co-pyrolysis of plastics and biomass can effectively improve the quality of bio-oil and solve the problem of plastic pollution. However, synergistic effect of co-pyrolysis on kinetics and the role of biomass H/Ceff in co-pyrolysis are still not conclusive. In this work, the co-pyrolysis synergistic effects of three different hydrogen-to-carbon ratio (H/Ceff) of biomass-rice husk (RH), sugarcane bagasse (SUG), and poplar wood (PW) with hydrogen-rich polypropylene (PP) were studied using a thermogravimetric method. The total synergy degree (φ) and the difference between experimental and theoretical weight losses (ΔW) were defined, and the activation energies of various experimental materials were calculated by the isoconversional method. The results showed that the addition of PP reduced the dependence of product species on biomass H/Ceff during co-pyrolysis. The synergistic effect of biomass and PP was related to biomass types, pyrolysis temperature, and mass ratio of biomass to PP. The mixture of SUG and PP showed positive synergistic effect at all mass ratios. Simultaneously, at the low temperature of pyrolysis, the synergistic effect is inhibited in all mixtures, which might be due to the melting of PP. Kinetic analysis showed that the activation energy could be reduced by 11.14–31.78% by co-pyrolysis with biomass and PP. A multi-step mechanism was observed in both the pyrolysis of a single sample and the co-pyrolysis of a mixture, according to Criado’s schematic analysis.

Abstract
The synergetic effects during co-pyrolysis of biomass and waste tire (WT) were investigated concerning the product distribution and reaction kinetics. Two biomass feedstocks were separately mixed with WT at different effective hydrogen/carbon ratio (H/Ceff), and analytical co-pyrolysis of mixtures was conducted using pyrolysis gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy at 500 °C. Product distributions were similar between different biomass feedstocks but varied significantly at different H/Ceff values. The percentage of hydrocarbons increased significantly when increasing H/Ceff, and the optimal H/Ceff was determined considering the correspondingly higher yield of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and char residuals at higher percentage of WT. The experimental derivative thermogravimetric curves of mixtures at the optimal H/Ceff were compared with the calculated results based on kinetic analysis of three individual components using the distributed activation energy model. Significant synergetic effects were observed at the initial and final stages of the pyrolysis process.
