Abstract
The use of algae for value-added product and biorefining applications is enchanting attention among researchers in recent years due to its remarkable photosynthetic ability, adaptability, and capacity to accumulate lipids and carbohydrates. Algae biomass, based on its low manufacturing costs, is relatively renewable, sustainable, environmentally friendly and economical in comparison with other species. High production rate of algae provides a unique opportunity for its conversion to biochar with excellent physicochemical properties, viz. high surface area and pore volume, high adsorption capacity, abundant functional groups over surface, etc. Despite several potential algal-biochar, a detailed study on its application for removal of emerging contaminants from wastewater is limited. Therefore, this technical review is being carried out to evaluate the specific elimination of inorganic and organic pollutants from wastewater, with a view to assessing adsorption performances of biochar obtained from various algae species. Species-specific adsorption of emerging pollutants from wastewater have been discussed in the present review. The promising methods like pyrolysis, gasification, dry and wet torrefaction for the production of algae biochar are highlighted. The strategies include chemical and structural modifications of algae biochar for the removal of toxic contaminants have also been considered in the current work. The overall aim of this review is to confer about the synthesis, technological advancements, delineation and application of algae biochar for the treatment of wastewater.

Abstract
In this study, a carbon-based adsorbent was developed from waste newspaper through pyrolysis at 800 °C to evaluate the removal efficiency of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (Benzo[ghi]perylene (BghiP) and Indeno [1,2,3-cd] pyrene (IP)) from wastewater. The surface area of the developed adsorbent was estimated at 509.247m2g-1 which allowed the adsorption of the PAHs from wastewater. The maximum adsorption capacity was estimated at 138.436 μg g-1 and 228.705 μg g-1 for BghiP and IP, respectively and the highest removal efficiency was observed at pH 2. Around 91% removal efficiency was observed at pH 7 for both pollutants. Experimental adsorption data were fit for pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm models, which demonstrate electrostatic interaction, monolayered deposition, hydrogen bonding, and π-π interaction between adsorbate and adsorbent which play a significant role in adsorption. The regeneration study described that the developed adsorbent could be able to intake 52.75% BghiP and 48.073% IP until the 8th and 6th cycles, respectively. The removal efficiency of the adsorbent in the real sample was also evaluated. This study will provide a method to convert waste material into adsorbent and will remove PAHs from wastewater as a function of pollutant mitigation and waste management.

Abstract
In this study, porous biochar (PBC) was prepared by acid activation of biochar derived from food waste (FWBC) and used as a suitable approach for the removal of 4-chlorophenol (CP) in wastewater. The characterization of PBC and the influent of different experimental conditions are determined. After the acid activation process, the surface area, porosity, and functional groups of PBC were developed. The removal performances of CP (1 mg/L) by PBC and FWBC were archived at 97.8 and 82.1%, respectively. Adsorption kinetics and isotherms of CP were followed by the second-order and Langmuir models, respectively. The maximum capacities of CP uptake onto mono-layer of FWBC and PBC based on the Langmuir model were determined at 79.8 and 108.7 mg/g, respectively. Besides, PBC could remove more than 89% CP from wastewater within 45 min of reaction time and it is suitable to reuse 8 times with over 60% adsorption efficiency of CP. In addition, the adsorption mechanism and environmental impact were discussed in detail. This work could bring a sustainable approach to the treatment of CP in wastewater as well as the management of food waste in Vietnam.

Abstract
The pyrolysis of spent coffee grounds (SCG) and polymers was examined as a waste treatment option for energy recovery and carbon sequestration. Rice straw-derived biochar was used as control biochar to evaluate the sorption capacity and energy production capability of SCG-derived biochar. SCG are characterised by high levels of volatile matter, rendering them suitable as an energy source. SCG were converted to biochar, bio-oil, and syngas via pyrolysis, with yields of 22%, 33%, and 45%, respectively. The high heating value (HHV) of the biochar and bio-oil was 20.6 and 22.9 MJ kg-1, respectively, indicating that they could be used as supplementary fuels. Co-pyrolysis with polymers (20 v v%-1) increased the HHV of biochar. Accordingly, the maximum production of CH4 and H2 increased from 0.3 and 0.04 mmol g-1 to 3.4-6.3 and 0.8-1.3 mmol g-1, respectively. Polystyrene most strongly enhanced the yields of CH4 and H2, followed by polypropylene and polyethylene; this order was likely to be in accordance with the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms present in the monomers. Similar to rice straw-derived biochar, the biochar produced from SCG demonstrated a high sorption capacity for 2,4-dinitrotoluene and chromate due to its high carbon content and anion exchange capacity, respectively. Laboratory pot tests revealed that the coffee grounds-derived biochar was able to increase the growth of young radish. Our results suggest that the pyrolysis of SCG and polymer may be a promising option for waste treatment, energy production, and carbon sequestration.

Review on carbon-based adsorbents from organic feedstocks for removal of organic contaminants from oil and gas industry process water: Production, adsorption performance and research gaps. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2022; 320:115739. [PMID: 35932737 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2022.115739] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2022] [Revised: 07/01/2022] [Accepted: 07/09/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Large amounts of process water with considerable concentrations of recalcitrant organic contaminants, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs), phenolic compounds (PCs), and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX), are generated by several segments of oil and gas industries. These segments include refineries, hydraulic fracturing (HF), and produced waters from the extraction of shale gas (SGPW), coalbed methane (CBMPW) and oil sands (OSPW). In fact, the concentration of PCs and PAHs in process water from refinery can reach 855 and 742 mg L-1, respectively. SGPW can contain BTEX at concentrations as high as 778 mg L-1. Adsorption can effectively target those organic compounds for the remediation of the process water by applying carbon-based adsorbents generated from organic feedstocks. Such organic feedstocks usually come from organic waste materials that would otherwise be conventionally disposed of. The objective of this review paper is to cover the scientific progress in the studies of carbon-based adsorbents from organic feedstocks that were successfully applied for the removal of organic contaminants PAHs, PCs, and BTEX. The contributions of this review paper include the important aspects of (i) production and characterization of carbon-based adsorbents to enhance the efficiency of organic contaminant adsorption, (ii) adsorption properties and mechanisms associated with the engineered adsorbent and expected for certain pollutants, and (iii) research gaps in the field, which could be a guidance for future studies. In terms of production and characterization of materials, standalone pyrolysis or hybrid procedures (pyrolysis associated with chemical activation methods) are the most applied techniques, yielding high surface area and other surface properties that are crucial to the adsorption of organic contaminants. The adsorption of organic compounds on carbonaceous materials performed well at wide range of pH and temperatures and this is desirable considering the pH of process waters. The mechanisms are frequently pore filling, hydrogen bonding, π-π, hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions, and same precursor material can present more than one adsorption mechanism, which can be beneficial to target more than one organic contaminant. Research gaps include the evaluation of engineered adsorbents in terms of competitive adsorption, application of adsorbents in oil and gas industry process water, adsorbent regeneration and reuse studies, and pilot or full-scale applications.

Abstract
To reduce waste volumes and recover valuable products, char was synthesized via co-pyrolysis of rice straw (RS) with spent tires, sulfur wastes, and CO2. The inclusion of wastes and CO2 in pyrolysis of RS was hypothesized to enhance the sorption ability of char for various contaminants, including 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT), 2,4-dichlorophenol (DCP), lead, barium, chromate (CrO42-), and selenate (SeO42-). Using a lab-scale electrical furnace, the co-pyrolysis was conducted, and the soprtion capacity of char was evaluated via a series of batch sorption experiments. The maximum sorption capacity of spent tire-RS char for DNT was 16.8 ± 0.2 mg g-1, much higher than that of RS biochar (10.1 ± 0.3 mg g-1) due to increasing carbon content from the spent tires. The sorption of DCP to the spent tire-RS char was also enhanced via hydrophobic sorption to carbon residues, although not to the same degree of DNT due to deprotonation of the DCP. Compared with RS biochar, co-pyrolysis with raw sulfur wastes and CO2 enhanced sorption of lead, barium, and chromate, which can be attributed to increased cation and anion exchange capacities resulting from developments of oxygen or sulfur-containing functional groups. Sorption of selenate was strongly affected by pH. The results suggest that co-pyrolysis of agricultural and industrial wastes and CO2 is a promising option for the final waste disposal and the production of valuable char, which can be selectively customized for various types of contaminants as sorbents.

Abstract
AbstractIn this study, a solid phase extraction method was successfully applied in the preconcentration and determination of trace levels of Cu(II) and Cd(II) ions and Phanerochaete chrysosporium (white rot fungus) modified bentonite was used as adsorbent. After the biosorption of Cu(II) and Cd(II) ions, metal concentrations in the samples were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. pH, adsorbent amount, eluent type, sample volume, and flow rate, which are effective in the adsorption of metal ions, have been studied. 1 M HCl was used for desorption of these metal ions retained (recovery 95–100%). In addition, the effect of interfered ions has also been investigated. Sorption data were examined according to Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption equations. The results obtained show that the applied method has a high metal biosorption capacity, and Cu(II) and Cd(II) ions are successfully recovered. It was also successful in applying the proposed enrichment method to real water samples.Recovery values between 92.3% and 97.3% were obtained for the studied metal ions. According to the results, the proposed method can be successfully applied to water analysis at 95% confidence interval.

Abstract
This study investigated a novel agricultural low-cost bio-waste biochar derived from wood apple fruit shell waste via the pyrolysis method, which is modified by ball milling and utilized to remove toxic phenol and chlorophenols (4-CPh and 2,4-DCPh) from contaminated aqueous media. The ball-milled wood apple fruit shell waste biochar (WAS-BC) sorbent was systematically analyzed by BET, CHN, and FTIR as well as particle size, SEM-EDS, XPS and TGA studies. The sorption equilibrium and kinetic studies exhibit that the sorption capacity was greater than 75% within the first 45 min of agitation at pH 6.0. The uptake capacity of 2,4-DCPh onto WAS-BC was greater than those of 4-CPh and phenol. Equilibrium results were consistent with the Langmuir isotherm model, while the kinetic data were best represented by the Elovich and pseudo-second-order model. The maximum uptake of phenol, 4-CPh, and 2,4-DCPh was 102.71, 172.24, and 226.55 mg/g, respectively, at 30 ± 1 °C. Thus, this study demonstrates that WAS-BC is an efficient, low-cost sorbent that can be used for the elimination of phenol and chlorophenol compounds from polluted wastewater.

Abstract
We analyzed the effects of pyrolysis temperature and duration on the physiochemical properties and Cd(II) adsorption capacity of spent tea leaves (STL) biochar. The STL biochar was produced by pyrolysis at 300, 400, 500 and 600 °C for 1 and 2 h. The pyrolysis temperature was positively correlated to the ash content, pH, electrical conductivity, specific surface area (SBET), pore volume (PV) and C content, and negatively with the total yield, O, H and N content, and the O/C and H/C atomic ratios. Furthermore, the surface porosity of STL biochar increased, the density of oxygen-containing functional groups decreased, and the formation of aromatic structures was enhanced at higher pyrolysis temperatures. The adsorption of Cd(II) onto STL biochar fitted with the pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir isotherms model. The STL biochar produced at 600 °C for 2 h showed the maximum Cd(II) adsorption capacity of 97.415 mg/g. In addition, Cd(II) adsorption was mainly physical and occurred in monolayers. Thus, STL biochar is a suitable low-cost adsorbent for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Biochar as a stable carbon-rich material shows incredible potential to handle water/wastewater contaminants. Its application is gaining increasing interest due to the availability of feedstock, the simplicity of the preparation methods, and their enhanced physico-chemical properties. The efficacy of biochar to remove organic and inorganic pollutants depends on its surface area, pore size distribution, surface functional groups, and the size of the molecules to be removed, while the physical architecture and surface properties of biochar depend on the nature of feedstock and the preparation method/conditions. For instance, pyrolysis at high temperatures generally produces hydrophobic biochars with higher surface area and micropore volume, allowing it to be more suitable for organic contaminants sorption, whereas biochars produced at low temperatures own smaller pore size, lower surface area, and higher oxygen-containing functional groups and are more suitable to remove inorganic contaminants. In the field of water/wastewater treatment, biochar can have extensive application prospects. Biochar have been widely used as an additive/support media during anaerobic digestion and as filter media for the removal of suspended matter, heavy metals and pathogens. Biochar was also tested for its efficiency as a support-based catalyst for the degradation of dyes and recalcitrant contaminants. The current review discusses on the different methods for biochar production and provides an overview of current applications of biochar in wastewater treatment.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2019; 251:109556. [PMID: 31541848 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2019.109556] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2019] [Revised: 08/28/2019] [Accepted: 09/07/2019] [Indexed: 05/22/2023]
Abstract
In this study, chicken manure biochar (CBC) was prepared and applied as adsorbent for the removal of phenolic pollutants including phenol (Ph) and 2,4-Dinitrophenol (DNP) from wastewaters. The feasibility analysis was focused on the adsorption effects of various factors, such as initial concentration, adsorbent dosage and reaction time. The results showed that BC could efficiently remove the Ph and DNP within 90 min of reaction time. Increasing of CBC dosage up to 0.3 g results in the maximum removal efficiency of Ph and DNP and lowers initial concentration which is beneficial for the adsorption of phenolic compounds. The second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm provided the best correlation with the adsorption data. Based on the Langmuir isotherm, maximum adsorption capacities (qmax) of Ph and DNP were found at 106.2 and 148.1 mg g-1, respectively. The obtained qmax values for CB were higher than those reported in literature on the adsorption of Ph and DNP using different biochar. Analyzing the regeneration characteristics, BC displayed high reusability with less than 20% loss in adsorption capacities of Ph and DNP, even after five repeated cycles. Investigation of the adsorption equilibrium under various conditions suggested several possible interaction mechanisms, including hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interaction and π- π bonding, which were attributed to the binding affinity of the adsorbent-adsorbate interaction. In the field application, the CBC showed an excellent removal efficiencies of Ph and DNP from industrial wastewaters (around 80% phenolic pollutants were removed). These findings support the potential use of CBC as effective adsorbent for treatment of wastewater containing Ph and DNP.

Abstract
Currently, biochar (BC) has shown promising potential in groundwater and surface-water remediation. In this work, Trapa natans husks based biochar (TBC) was prepared and modified with aquatic animal waste (shrimp and crab) to produce shrimp-modified biochar (SBC) and crab-modified biochar (CBC), respectively. The as-prepared BCs (TBC, SBC, and CBC) were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, elemental analysis, Boehm titration, Fourier transform infrared, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. SBC and CBC had more developed nitrogen-containing functional groups than TBC, which indicates that the crude proteins in shrimp and crab have successfully achieved in situ nitrogen doping. Results of batch experiments showed that SBC and CBC had larger groundwater pollutants (2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) and Ni(II)) adsorption capacities than TBC. According to batch adsorption experiment and characterization analysis results, the proposed adsorption mechanism of 2,4-DCP includes hydrogen bonding and π-π electron-donor-acceptor interaction, while the mechanism for Ni(II) adsorption are proposed to be surface complexation, ion exchange, and electrostatic attraction.

Abstract
Spent polyethylene terephthalate (PETE) bottles were collected and co-pyrolyzed with rice straw (RS) to examine the characteristics and performance of biochar as a sorbent for various types of U.S. EPA priority pollutants, including 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT), 2,4-dichlorophenol (DCP), Pb, chromate (CrO42−), and selenate (SeO42−). During sorption of contaminants to PETE/RS-derived biochar, PETE residues from pyrolysis, pH, and pyrolysis temperature greatly affected the sorption process. Depending on the types of contaminants and experimental conditions, co-pyrolysis of PETE and RS may enhance the sorption of contaminants through different sorption mechanisms, including hydrophobicity, electrostatic force, ion exchange, surface complexation, and surface precipitation. Unlike other contaminants, selenate was reductively transformed by delocalized electrons from the graphitic structure in biochar. Our results strongly suggest that co-pyrolysis of PETE and agricultural wastes may be favorable to enhance the properties of biochar. In addition to syn-gas and bio-oil from co-pyrolysis, biochar may be a valuable by-product for commercial use. Spent polyethylene terephthalate (PETE) bottles were co-pyrolyzed with rice straw to examine the performance of biochar as a sorbent for various types of pollutants, including 2,4-dinitrotoluene, 2,4-dichlorophenol, Pb, chromate, and selenate.![]()
