The feedstock anatomical properties determine biochar adsorption capacities: A study using woody bamboos (Bambuseae) and methylene blue as a model molecule. CHEMOSPHERE 2024:142656. [PMID: 38908449 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142656] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Revised: 05/10/2024] [Accepted: 06/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/24/2024]
Abstract
Feedstock characteristics impact biochar physicochemical properties, and reproducible biochar properties are essential for any potential application. However, in most articles, feedstock aspects (i.e., taxonomic name of the species, part of the plant, and phenological phase) are scarcely reported. This research aimed at studying the effect of species and phenological stage of feedstock on the properties of the derived biochars and, thus, adsorption capacities in water treatment. In this study, we analysed the anatomical characteristics of three different woody bamboo species [Guadua chacoensis (GC), Phyllostachys aurea (PA), and Bambusa tuldoides (BT)] in culms harvested at two different phenological phases (young and mature), and statistically correlated them with the characteristics of the six derived biochars, including their adsorption performance in aqueous media. Sclerenchyma fibres and parenchyma cells diameter and cell-wall width significantly differed among species. Additionally, sclerenchyma fibres and parenchyma cell-wall width as well as sclerenchyma fibres cell diameter are dependent on the phenological phase of the culms. Consequently, differences in biochar characteristics (i.e., yield and average pore diameter) were also observed, leading to differential methylene blue (MB) adsorption capacities between individuals at different phenological phases. MB adsorption capacities were higher for biochar produced from young culms compared to those obtained from matures ones (i.e., GC: 628.66 vs. 507.79; BT: 537.45 vs. 477.53; PA: 477.52 vs. 462.82 mg/g), which had smaller cell wall widths and thus gave a lower percentage of biochar yield. The feedstock anatomical properties determined biochar characteristics and thus modulated adsorption capacities.

Abstract
The rapid development of the industrial world causes wastewater containing dyes to continue to increase. Even in recent years, the food, textile, cosmetic, plastic, and printing industries have developed the use of dyes. Methylene blue (MB) is one of the cationic dyes widely used in dyeing silk, wood, and cotton because of its absorbency and good fastness to materials. The adsorption process is the best technique and preferred in removing dyes from wastewater due to excellent selectivity, high efficiency from high-quality treated effluent, flexibility in design, and simplicity. Therefore, there is a growing interest to identify low-cost alternative adsorbents that have reasonable adsorption efficiency, especially natural materials such as leaves. In this study, research on MB adsorption using leaves was analyzed using bibliometric analysis. Information of bibliometric is extracted from the Scopus database with the keyword "Methylene Blue", "Adsorption or Desorption", and "Leaves or leaf". The results showed that India, Desalination and Water Treatment, and SASTRA Deemed University were the country, journal, and institution that contributed the most publications on this topic. Therefore, it is expected that with the use of bibliometrics, the use of leaf-based MB adsorption processes in their potential for MB dye removal can be investigated especially for large-scale development.

Abstract
Sycamore leaf biochar (PSAC) was prepared by a two-step phosphoric acid-assisted hydrothermal carbonization combined with a short-time activation method. The characterization results showed that the introduction of phosphoric acid molecules and thermal activation resulted in a substantial increase in the specific surface area (994.21 m2/g) and microporous capacity (0.307 cm3/g) of PSAC. The batch adsorption results showed that the adsorption process of PSAC on bisphenol A (BPA) was best described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Sips isothermal model, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 247.42 mg/g. The adsorption of BPA onto PSAC was determined to be a spontaneous endothermic process. The equilibrium adsorption capacity of PSAC exhibited an upward trend with increasing initial BPA concentration and temperature while decreasing with higher adsorbent dosage and pH value. Coexisting cations and humic acids in water have little impact on the adsorption performance of PSAC for BPA. The adsorption mechanism of BPA by PSAC was mainly governed by pore filling and hydrogen bonding interactions, π-π interactions, and intraparticle diffusion. Furthermore, PSAC demonstrated good reusability by its sustained adsorption capacity of BPA, which remained at 82.6% of the initial adsorption capacity even after four adsorption-desorption cycles. These findings highlight the potential of utilizing low-cost sycamore leaf biochar as an effective adsorbent for the removal of the endocrine disruptor BPA.

Olive stone as an eco-friendly bio-adsorbent for elimination of methylene blue dye from industrial wastewater. Sci Rep 2023; 13:21063. [PMID: 38030694 PMCID: PMC10687264 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-47319-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2023] [Accepted: 11/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Adsorbents synthesized by activation and nanoparticle surface modifications are expensive and might pose health and ecological risks. Therefore, the interest in raw waste biomass materials as adsorbents is growing. In batch studies, an inexpensive and effective adsorbent is developed from raw olive stone (OS) to remove methylene blue (MB) from an aqueous solution. The OS adsorbent is characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area. Four isotherms are used to fit equilibrium adsorption data, and four kinetic models are used to simulate kinetic adsorption behavior. The obtained BET surface area is 0.9 m2 g-1, and the SEM analysis reveals significant pores in the OS sample that might facilitate the uptake of heavy compounds. The Langmuir and Temkin isotherm models best represent the adsorbtion of MB on the OS, with a maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of 44.5 mg g-1. The best dye color removal efficiency by the OS is 93.65% from an aqueous solution of 20 ppm at the OS doses of 0.2 g for 90 min contact time. The OS adsorbent serves in five successive adsorption cycles after a simple filtration-washing-drying process, maintaining MB removal efficiency of 91, 85, 80, and 78% in cycles 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively. The pseudo second-order model is the best model to represent the adsorption process dynamics. Indeed, the pseudo second-order and the Elovich models are the most appropriate kinetic models, according to the correlation coefficient (R2) values (1.0 and 0.935, respectively) derived from the four kinetic models. The parameters of the surface adsorption are also predicted based on the mass transfer models of intra-particle diffusion and Bangham and Burt. According to the thermodynamic analysis, dye adsorption by the OS is endothermic and spontaneous. As a result, the OS material offers an efficient adsorbent for MB removal from wastewater that is less expensive, more ecologically friendly, and economically viable.

Production of non-activated biochar based on Biden pilosa and its application in removing methylene blue from aqueous solutions. Heliyon 2023; 9:e15766. [PMID: 37153402 PMCID: PMC10160517 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e15766] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2022] [Revised: 04/20/2023] [Accepted: 04/20/2023] [Indexed: 05/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Biden pilosa (BP) is a type of weed commonly found in Thailand that needs to be removed from agricultural areas for protecting main crops. This research proposed a method to reduce BP by using BP as a feedstock for biochar production. Non-activated BP biochar from fresh BP was produced in pilot scale using a drum kiln with a heat-transferring duct at a pyrolysis temperature of 550 °C at a slow heating rate. The physical properties of the non-activated BP biochar were investigated using scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and a surface area analyzer. A batch experiment was used to study the adsorption behavior of methylene blue (MB) on BP biochar. The microstructure study of the BP biochar indicated that it has a cell structure similar to that of BP, which shows the non-destructive nature of the proposed technique for BP production. Six dominant peaks at 3283, 2915, 1559, 1403, 1116, and 863/839 cm⁻1 were observed in the FTIR spectrum. The BP biochar exhibited a surface area of 5.21 m2/g and a pore size of 8 nm. The adsorption of MB on the BP biochar followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetics. The Langmuir-based maximum adsorption capacity of MB on the BP biochar was 200 mg/g at 303 K.

Abstract
Worldwide surge in crop residue generation has necessitated developing strategies for their sustainable disposal. Pyrolysis has been widely adopted to convert crop residue into biochar with bio-oil and gas being two co-products. The review adopts a whole system philosophy and systematically summarises up-to-date knowledge of crop residue pyrolysis processes, influential factors, and biochar applications. Essential process design tools for biochar production e.g., cost-benefit analysis, life cycle assessment, and machine learning methods are also reviewed, which has often been overlooked in prior reviews. Important aspects include (a) correlating techno-economics of biochar production with crop residue compositions, (b) process operating conditions and management strategies, (c) biochar applications including soil amendment, fuel displacement, catalytic usage, etc., (d) data-driven modelling techniques, (e) properties of biochar, and (f) climate change mitigation. Overall, the review will support the development of application-oriented process pipelines for crop residue-based biochar.

Abstract
The removal of refractory pollutants, i.e., methylene blue (MB) and ciprofloxacin (CIP), relies heavily on sorption technologies to address global demands for ongoing access to clean water. Because of the poor adsorbent–pollutant contact, traditional sorption procedures are inefficient. To accomplish this, a wheat husk biochar (WHB), loaded with cinnamic acid, was created using a simple intercalation approach to collect dangerous organic pollutants from an aqueous solution. Batch experiments, detecting technologies, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to investigate the interactions at the wheat husk biochar modified with cinnamic acid (WHB/CA) and water interface to learn more about the removal mechanisms. With MB (96.52%) and CIP (94.03%), the functionalized WHB exhibited outstanding adsorption capabilities, with model fitting results revealing that the adsorption process was chemisorption and monolayer contact. Furthermore, DFT studies were performed to evaluate the interfacial interaction between MB and CIP with the WHB/CA surface. The orbital interaction diagram provided a visual representation of the interaction mechanism. These findings open up a new avenue for researchers to better understand adsorption behavior for the utilization of WHB on an industrial scale.

Abstract
The disposal of coconut wastes is costly and damaging to the environment, but its uses are advantageous activated carbons production. Coconut leaves waste were used for activated carbon production by pyrolysis at 500° C and activation with potassium carbonate. The activated carbon was used for caffeine removal from aqueous solution. The coconut leaves activated carbon showed a predominantly amorphous structure from X-ray diffraction analysis and a pH at the zero charge point of 7.9. From the N2 adsorption/desorption method, the adsorbent showed a predominance of mesopores, with average pore size of 45.48 ηm and a surface area of 678.03 m2/g. From kinetic studies the data followed the pseudo-second order, where the intraparticle diffusion can be neglected. The adsorption isotherms were satisfactorily adjusted for the Redlich-Peterson model and a type curve L was identified. The thermodynamic parameters showed that adsorption occurred spontaneously, was exothermic and governed by physical adsorption. The artificial neural networks developed were capable of predicting both kinetics and equilibrium adsorption data under different operating conditions and was comparable to the traditional models available in literature in the training experiments, encouraging its use for data generalization when an efficient dataset is used. In conclusion, coconut leaves waste showed to be a promising feedstock to produce activated carbon aiming caffeine removal from water and wastewater.

Abstract
The study provides a review of various applications of biomass-derived biochars, waste-derived biochars, and modified biochars as adsorbent materials for removing dyestuff from process effluents. Processing significant amounts of dye effluent discharges into receiving waters can supply major benefits to countries which are affected by the water crisis and anticipated future stress in many areas in the world. When compared to most conventional adsorbents, biochars can provide an economically attractive solution. In comparison to many other textile effluent treatment processes, adsorption technology provides an economic, easily managed, and highly effective treatment option. Several tabulated data values are provided that summarize the main characteristics of various biochar adsorbents according to their ability to remove dyestuffs from wastewaters.

Abstract
The production of biochar from sewage sludge pyrolysis is a promising approach to transform the waste resultant from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to a potential adsorbent. The current review provides an up-to-date review regarding important aspects of sewage sludge pyrolysis, highlighting the process that results major solid fraction (biochar), as high-value product. Further, the physio-chemical characteristics of sewage-sludge derived biochar such as the elemental composition, specific surface area, pore size and volume, the functional groups, surface morphology and heavy metal content are discussed. Recent progress on adsorption of metals, emerging pollutants, dyes, nutrients and oil are discussed and the results are examined. The sewage sludge-derived biochar is a promising material that can make significant contributions on pollutants removal from water by adsorption and additional benefit of the management of huge volume of sewage. Considering all these aspects, this field of research still needs more attention from the researchers in the direction of the technological features and sustainability aspects.

Abstract
In the present study, lanthanum hydroxide (La OH)-engineered sewage sludge biochar (La-SSBC) was utilized for efficient phosphate elimination from an aqueous medium. A high adsorption capacity of 312.55 mg P/g was achieved using La-SSBC at 20 °C, which was an excellent adsorbent performance in comparison to other biochar-based adsorbents. Additionally, the performance of La-SSBC was stable even at wider range of pH level, the existence of abundant active anions, and recycling experiments. Statistical physics modeling with the fitting method based on the Levenberg-Marquardt iterating algorithm, as well as various chemical characterizations, suggested the unique double-layered mechanism of phosphate capturing: one functional group of La-SSBC adsorbent describing a prone direction of the PO4 ions on the stabilize surface in a multi-ionic process, forming the first layer adsorption. Additionally, SSBC played an important role by releasing positively charged cations in solution, overcoming the electronic repulsion to form a second layer, and achieving excellent adsorption capacity. The calculation of multiple physicochemical parameters including adsorption energy further evidenced the process. This two-layered mechanism sheds light on the complex interaction between phosphate and biochar. Moreover, the management of sewage sludge associated with the requirement of cost-effectively and environmentally acceptable mode. Therefore, the present investigation demonstrated an efficient approach of the simultaneous sewage sludge utilization and phosphate removal.

Abstract
Herein, a magnetic biochar adsorbent based on Pyrus pyrifolia discarded peels impregnated with precursor FeCl3·6H2O was fabricated and probed as a low-cost adsorbent for toxic cationic dye methylene blue (MB). The textural characterization of Pyrus pyrifolia magnetic biochar (PMBC) obtained from BET analysis exhibited its mesoporous nature with SBET of 133.960 m2/g. The physicochemical characteristics of PMBC were elucidated using XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDX and TEM techniques. The impregnation of FeCl3 has a significant impact on the microstructure of Pyrus pyrifolia based biochar which resulted in enhancement in adsorption efficiency of PMBC. The sorption parameters adsorbent dosage, time, initial MB concentration, and pH were thoroughly elucidated using a batch methodology which were found to be 0.8 g/L, 40 min, 90 mg/L and 6, respectively. Temkin and pseudo-second-order rate equation respectively appropriated the equilibrium data than the rest of the models. The maximum adsorption capacity determined by the Langmuir model was found to be 967.80 mg/g. The adsorbent exhibited better regeneration up to 3 cycles validating its practical usage. The facile synthesis, economic, and environmentally benign characteristic of Pyrus pyrifolia magnetic biochar corroborated it as a highly efficient adsorbent to sequester MB from an aqueous phase.

Abstract
A novel one-pot synthesis method was developed to prepare modified hydrochar by co-hydrothermal carbonization of waste distillers grains using low-cost clay minerals (attapulgite or vermiculite). The loading of the clay minerals onto hydrochar surfaces altered the structure and surface composition of the hydrochar such that the clay-modified hydrochars showed better ability to adsorb methylene blue and phosphate in aqueous solution than the pristine hydrochar. The maximum methylene blue and phosphate adsorption capacities of the modified hydrochar reached 340.3 and 96.9 mg g-1, respectively, comparable or higher than that of many commercial sorbents. Multiple mechanisms, including electrostatic attraction, ion exchange, complexation, and physical adsorption, controlled the adsorption process. These results highlight excellent potential for distillers grains-derived hydrochar-clay composites as an environmental sorbent, capable of removing a variety of contaminants from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Historically, lignin has been produced as a waste by-product in industrial processes. In this study, lignosulfonate nanoparticles were fabricated and freeze-dried for use as a precursor material for carbonization. The use of the carbonized lignins for the adsorption of textile effluent as a value-added application is demonstrated. Characterization of the as received lignin (LN) and the developed nano-based freeze-dried lignin (NFLN) were performed prior to and after carbonization at 600, 750, 900 and 1050 °C. Using probe sonication, lignosulfonates were broken down into nanoparticles with lower weight-average molecular weight as verified by dynamic and static light scattering techniques. The difference between the LN and the NFLN was determined to be primarily morphological as the sonication and freeze-drying process imparted a platelet-like shape to the NFLN biocarbons and an increased surface area, while the remaining functionality was similar. The adsorption behaviour of methylene blue (MB), a synthetic cationic dye, was investigated using adsorption isotherm and kinetic models, with the NFLN exhibiting a maximum adsorption capacity of 109.77 mg/g. Overall, electrostatic attraction and hydrogen bonding contribute significantly to the MB adsorption. Further preliminary work was also performed demonstrating the coating of polyurethane foam for the adsorption of MB. These renewable biocarbons show promising properties for use as additive in adsorbent, coating, pigment or as a filler in polymer composite applications.

Abstract
Agricultural practices and industrial and human discharges play an important role in the generation of highly contaminated effluents, which becomes a threat to the environment. The persistence of many of these compounds to conventional treatments in recent years has meant that numerous efforts have been devoted to the proposal of new selective materials that allow the removal of these contaminants by adsorption. In addition, bibliometric studies have grown as powerful tools to indicate trends in innovation. In this way, the present study consisted of evaluating the potential interest to use activated carbon as adsorbent through a prospection study in scientific and technological databases. The number of records obtained for the use of activated carbon in effluent remediation processes is equivalent to 4898, which corresponds to approximately 2.5% of the total documents (articles/patents) found for the use of carbon with no defined purpose. A total of 2275 works that used the adsorptive property of activated carbon were recovered. According to the data recovered, Brazil is the leader in scientific publications among Latin American countries and the 12th worldwide, according to the SciELO and Scopus databases, respectively. In general, a significant number of patents have been recovered for this theme, in the Derwent database, 1167 documents were recovered. The results obtained in this work evidenced the growing interest in developing technologies in this area.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the sorption of tetracycline (TC) and norfloxacin (NOR) by modified cotton straw hydrochars (CSHC), which would enable the agricultural waste to be processed and recycled. Three kinds of hydrochars were prepared by H2SO4, KOH and KMnO4 modification, showed obvious differences in structures and surface functional groups. The sorption processes contain film diffusion, intraparticle diffusion, and equilibrium. The interaction mechanism between hydrochar and antibiotics include π-π stacking, hydrogen bond, and electrostatic interaction. KMnO4-modified hydrochar had the largest sorption capacity for TC (58.09 mg/g), while H2SO4-modified hydrochar had the largest sorption capacity for NOR (49.64 mg/g). Density functional calculations (DFT) results confirmed that the sorption capacity between hydrochar (HC) and TC was larger than that between HC and NOR. During the sorption process, the TC and NOR were regarded as electron acceptor and electron donor. Generally, CSHC-KMnO4 and CSHC-H2SO4 may be simply prepared and have the potential to eliminate antibiotics from water.

Abstract
In this study, we have investigated the removal efficiency of two organic pollutants: methylene blue (MB) and Reactive Blue 19 (RB19) dyes by using a brown marine alga abundantly available on the Moroccan coastlines called Bifurcaria bifurcata (Bif-Bcata). During the experiments that were conducted in batch mode, we have studied the effect of some parameters such as pH, Bif-Bcata mass, contact time, and initial dye concentration in order to optimize the most suitable biosorption conditions. The biosorption tests on Bif-Bcata showed that the equilibrium is reached after 15 min for both dyes MB and RB19. The optimal pH values are 5.6 and 1.0 for MB and RB19, respectively. Kinetic studies revealed that the biosorption of both dyes follows the pseudo-second-order model. The biosorption isotherms demonstrated that the Langmuir model is the most appropriate to describe the biosorption equilibrium for both dyes MB and RB19 with maximum biosorption capacities reaching 2744.5 mg/g for MB and 88.7 mg/g for RB19. According to these results, it is clear that Bif-Bcata can be considered a promising biomaterial to be used as an effective biosorbent for the elimination of cationic and anionic dyes from textile effluents.

Abstract
The palm (Elaeis guineensis), known as dendê, is an important oleaginous Brazilian plant with a high performance of oil production. In this work, a 23 full experimental design was performed and the response surface method (RSM) was used to indicate the optimum parameter of caffeine adsorption on Elaeis guineensis endocarp activated carbon, since the endocarp is the main by-product from dendê oil production. It was set the adsorbent point of zero charge (pHpzc), and the material was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The RSM results indicate removal efficiency (%) at the optimal conditions, 0.20 g of adsorbent, and caffeine initial concentration of 20 mg/L, and acidic medium was about 95%. Based on ANOVA and F test (Fcalculated > Fstandard), the mathematical/statistical model obtained fits well to the experimental data. The overall kinetic studies showed time was achieved after 5 h and caffeine adsorption followed the pseudo-second-order model suggesting chemisorption is a predominant mechanism. Redlich-Peterson and Sips models best represented the experimental data (0.967 < R2 < 0.993). Thermodynamic revealed that caffeine adsorption was spontaneous at all temperatures studied, exothermic, and probably with changes in the adsorbate-adsorbent complex during the process. The tests conducted in different water matrixes corroborate the suitability of this adsorbent to be used in caffeine removal even in a complex solution.

Abstract
Edible fungus residue as an efficient and low-cost precursor was used to produce Edible Fungus residue Activated Carbon (EFAC) using the zinc chloride activation method at a 1 : 2 impregnation ratio and 600 °C activation for 3 hours. The activation process does not need gases like nitrogen and is suitable for mass production. Fungal biodegradation facilitates efficient chemical activation, which might have generated abundant pores on the activated carbon sample. Using BET, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and FTIR characterization, reveals that EFAC exhibits a large specific surface area (1070 m2 g−1), and large pore volume (0.68 cm3 g−1), with its surface displaying a honeycomb-like structure. The EFAC adsorbs methylene blue (MB) and aniline in water, with maximum adsorptions of 662.25 and 27.10 mg g−1, respectively. Various adsorption conditions, such as the EFAC dosage, pH, contact time and initial concentration were investigated. The adsorption is characterized by the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models, with thermodynamics studies indicating that the adsorption is endothermic and spontaneous. Furthermore, the EFAC exhibited good regeneration performance by a 90% ethanol solution. The EFAC is a low-cost and environmentally friendly adsorbent for removing organic contaminants in wastewater. Edible fungus residue as an efficient and low-cost precursor was used to produce Edible Fungus residue Activated Carbon (EFAC) using the zinc chloride activation method at a 1 : 2 impregnation ratio and 600 °C activation for 3 hours.![]()
