Highly radioiodine gas capture by 2-mercaptobenzimidazole-functionalized Bi/Mg oxide and effective iodine waste immobilization by etidronic-Bi 2O 3 complex. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 474:134688. [PMID: 38805823 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134688] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 05/11/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/30/2024]
Abstract
The present work prepared a novel BiMgO-2MBD (X = 0.42) material for iodine vapor capture in temperature conditions related to spent nuclear fuel reprocessing and nuclear accidents. BiMgO-2MBD (X = 0.42) was synthesized by a solvothermal process and exhibited an exceptional ultrafast and high iodine uptake with a capacity of 4352.12 mg/g and 5147.08 mg/g after 5 h at 75 °C and 150 °C, respectively. The TGA analysis shows that Bi/Mg oxide substrate highly contributed to improving the thermal stability of the functionalized BiMgO-2MB (X = 0.42) as indicated by the weight losses of the material components of 3.77 wt%, 29.32 wt%, and 97.72 wt%, respectively for Bi/Mg oxide, BiMgO-2MBD, and 2-MBD. The material characterization and DFT calculations indicate that 2-MBD played a significant role towards improving iodine capture capacity. For long-term and safe waste disposal, a chemically durable waste form was made from etidronic acid and Bi2O3, and successfully immobilized the iodine-loaded wastes (I2 @BiMgO-2MBD) which exhibited a low normalized leaching rate of 1.098 × 10-6 g.m2/day for 7 days under the PCT-A method. In addition, BiMgO-2MBD (X = 0.42) showed an ability to be reused after several regeneration cycles. The comparison with previously reported materials shows that the current BiMgO-2MBD (X = 0.42) is the first functionalized metal oxide comparable to metal-organic and covalent organic frameworks for iodine uptake. BiMgO-2MBD (X = 0.42) shows promising results for practical applications in the gas phase capture of radioactive iodine.

Sulfur vacancy-rich bismuth sulfide nanowire derived from CAU-17 for radioactive iodine capture in complex environments: Performance and intrinsic mechanisms.

Abstract
Effective capture and immobilization of volatile radioiodine from the off-gas of post-treatment plants is crucial for nuclear safety and public health, considering its long half-life, high toxicity, and environmental mobility. Herein, sulfur vacancy-rich Vs-Bi2S3@C nanocomposites were systematically synthesized via a one-step solvothermal vulcanization of CAU-17 precursor. Batch adsorption experiments demonstrated that the as-synthesized materials exhibited superior iodine adsorption capacity (1505.8 mg g-1 at 200 °C), fast equilibrium time (60 min), and high chemisorption ratio (91.7%), which might benefit from the nanowire structure and abundant sulfur vacancies of Bi2S3. Furthermore, Vs-Bi2S3@C composites exhibited excellent iodine capture performance in complex environments (high temperatures, high humidity and radiation exposure). Mechanistic investigations revealed that the I2 capture by fabricated materials primarily involved the chemical adsorption between Bi2S3 and I2 to form BiI3, and the interaction of I2 with electrons provided by sulfur vacancies to form polyiodide anions (I3-). The post-adsorbed iodine samples were successfully immobilized into commercial glass fractions in a stable form (BixOyI), exhibiting a normalized iodine leaching rate of 3.81 × 10-5 g m-2 d-1. Overall, our work offers a novel strategy for the design of adsorbent materials tailed for efficient capture and immobilization of volatile radioiodine.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2308175.

Abstract
The safe and efficient management of hazardous radioactive iodine is significant for nuclear waste reprocessing and environmental industries. A novel supramolecular framework compound based on cucurbit[8]uril (Q[8]) and 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) is reported in this paper. In the single crystal structure of Q[8]-(4-AP), two 4-AP molecules interact with the outer surface of Q[8] and the two other 4-AP molecules are encapsulated into the Q[8] cavity to form the self-assembly Q[8]-(4-AP). Iodine adsorption experiments show that the as-prepared Q[8]-(4-AP) not only has a high adsorption capacity (1.74 g· g-1) for iodine vapor but also can remove the iodine in the organic solvent and the aqueous solution with the removal efficiencies of 95% and 91%, respectively. The presence of a large number of hydrogen bonds between the iodine molecule and the absorbent, as seen in the single crystal structure of iodine-loaded Q[8]-(4-AP) (I2@Q[8]-(4-AP)), is thought to be responsible for the exceptional iodine adsorption capacity of the material. In addition, the adsorption-desorption tests reveal that the self-assembly material has no significant loss of iodine capture capacity after five cycles, indicating that it has sufficient reusability.

[PMID: 38198932 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.01.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2023] [Revised: 12/27/2023] [Accepted: 01/02/2024] [Indexed: 01/12/2024]
Abstract
From the swollen LDH, bulky [Mo3S13]2- anions are facilely introduced into the LDH interlayers to assemble the Mo3S13-LDH composite, which exhibits excellent iodine capture performance and good irradiation resistance. The positive-charged LDH layers may disperse the [Mo3S13]2- uniformly within the interlayers, providing abundant adsorption sites for effectively trapping iodine. The Mo-S bond serving as a soft Lewis base has strong affinity to I2 with soft Lewis acidic characteristic, which is conducive to improvement of iodine capture via physical sorption. Besides, chemisorption has a significant contribution to the iodine adsorption. The S22-/S2- in [Mo3S13]2- can reduce the I2 to [I3]- ions, which are facilely fixed within the LDH gallery in virtue of electrostatic attraction. Meanwhile, the S22-/S2- themselves are oxidized to S8 and SO42-, while Mo4+ is oxidized (by O2 in air) to Mo6+, which combines with SO42- forming amorphous Mo(SO4)3. With the collective interactions of chemical and physical adsorption, the Mo3S13-LDH demonstrates an extremely large iodine adsorption capacity of 1580 mg/g. Under γ radiation, the structure of Mo3S13-LDH well maintains and iodine adsorption capability does not deteriorate, indicating the good irradiation resistance. This work provides an important reference to tailor cost-effective sorbents for trapping iodine from radioactive nuclear wastes.

Abstract
The effective capture and deposition of radioactive iodine in the spent fuel reprocessing process is of great importance for nuclear safety and environmental protection. Three-dimensional (3D) fiber felt with structural diversity and tunability is applied as an efficient adsorbent with easy separation for iodine capture. Here, a bismuth-based silica aerogel fiber felt (Bi@SNF) was synthesized using a facile hydrothermal method. Abundant and homogeneous Bi nanoparticles greatly enhanced the adsorption and immobilization of iodine. Notably, Bi@SNF demonstrated a high capture capacity of 982.9 mg/g by forming stable BiI3 and Bi5O7I phases, which was about 14 times higher than that of the unloaded material. Fast uptake kinetics and excellent resistance to nitric acid and radiation were exhibited as a result of the 3D porous interconnected network and silica aerogel fiber substrate. Adjustable size and easy separation and recovery give the material potential as a radioactive iodine gas capture material.

Abstract
Radioactive waste management is critical for maintaining the sustainability of nuclear fuel cycles. In this study, we propose a novel bismuth-based reduced graphene oxide (Bi0-rGO) composite for the immobilization of off-gas radioactive iodine. This material synthesized via a solvothermal route exhibited a low surface area (2.96 m2/g) combined with a maximum iodine sorption capacity of 1228 ± 25 mg/g at 200 °C. The iodine sorbent was mixed with Bi2O3 powder and distilled water to fabricate waste matrices, which were cold-sintered at 300 °C under a uniaxial pressure of 500 MPa for 20 min to achieve a relative density of ∼98% and Vickers hardness of 1.3 ± 0.1 GPa. The utilized methodology reduced the iodine leaching rate by approximately 3 orders of magnitude through the formation of a chemically durable iodine-bearing waste form (BiOI). This study demonstrates the high potential of Bi0-rGO as an innovative solution for the immobilization of radioactive waste at relatively low temperatures.

Abstract
The capture of long-lived radioactive iodine (129I) from oxidizing off-gasses produced from reprocessing used nuclear fuel is paramount to human health and environmental safety. Bismuth has been investigated as a viable iodine getter but the phase stability of bismuth-based sorbents in an oxidizing environment have not yet been researched. In the current work, bismuth nanoparticle-based sorbents, as free particles (Bi-NPs) and embedded within silica xerogel monoliths made with a porogen (TEO-5), were exposed to I2(g) before and after aging in 1 v/v% NO2 at 150 °C. For unaged sorbents, BiI3 was the dominant phase after iodine capture with 8-30 mass% BiOI present due to native Bi2O3 on the surface of the unaged nanoparticles. After 3 h of aging, 82 mass% of the Bi-NPs was converted to Bi2O3 with only a small amount of iodine captured as BiOI (18 mass%). After aging TEO-5 for 3 h, iodine was captured as both BiI3 (26 %) and BiOI (74 %) and no Bi2O3 was detected.". Additionally, bismuth lining the micrometer-scale pores in the TEO-5 led to enhanced iodine capture. In a subsequent exposure of the sorbents to NO2 (secondary aging), all BiI3 converted to BiOI. Thus, direct capture of iodine as BiOI is desired (over BiI3) to minimize loss of iodine after capture.

Abstract
Nowadays, the demand for nuclear power is continue increasing due to its safety, cleanliness, and high economic benefits. Radioactive iodine from nuclear accidents and nuclear waste treatment processes poses a threat to humans and the environment. Therefore, the capture and storage of radioactive iodine are vital. Bismuth-based (Bi-based) materials have drawn much attention as low-toxicity and economical materials for removing and immobilizing iodine. Recent advances in adsorption and immobilization of vapor iodine by the Bi-based materials are discussed in this review, in addition with the removal of iodine from solution. It points out the neglected areas in this research topic and provides suggestions for further development and application of Bi-based materials in the removal of radioactive iodine.

Abstract
Effective capture of radioactive iodine is highly desirable for decontamination purposes in spent fuel reprocessing. Cu-based adsorbents with a low cost and high chemical affinity for I2 molecules act as a decent candidate for iodine elimination, but the low utilization and stability remain a significant challenge. Herein, a facile in situ confined synthesis strategy is developed to design and synthesize a copper-encapsulated flaky silicalite-1 (Cu@FSL-1) zeolite with a thickness of ≤300 nm. The maximum iodine uptake capacity of Cu@FSL-1 can reach 625 mg g-1 within 45 min, which is 2 times higher than that of a commercial silver-exchanged zeolite even after nitric acid and NOX treatment. The Cu nanoparticles (NPs) confined within the zeolite exert superior iodine adsorption and immobilization properties as well as high stability and fast adsorption kinetics endowed by the all-silica zeolite matrix. This study provides new insight into the design and controlled synthesis of zeolite-confined metal adsorbents for efficient iodine capture from gaseous radioactive streams.

Abstract
The efficient and safe capture of volatile radioiodine is of great significance in the reprocessing of spent fuel. Herein, the millimeter-scale pitch-based hyper-cross-linked porous polymers@polyethersulfone (PHCP@PES) composite beads were firstly synthesized for the removal of volatile iodine and methyl iodide. PHCP@PES beads exhibit high iodine vapor and methyl iodide uptake capacities of 770.0 mg/g and 186.5 mg/g, respectively. More impressively, the uptake capacities of PHCP@PES (744.5 mg/g for iodine vapor and 180 mg/g for methyl iodide) remained almost unchanged after treatment with 3 mol/L of nitric acid. The rich interconnected pore structure of PHCP@PES promotes the rapid physical capture of iodine and methyl iodide. Intrinsic features such as low-cost preparation, good mechanical properties as well as thermal, acid stability and excellent performance in iodine capture indicate that PHCP@PES can be used as a potential candidate for the removal of radioactive iodine in the exhaust gas stream of post-treatment plants.

Abstract
Development of high efficient adsorbents to capture iodine is of great significance for the active development of nuclear power. Herein, Bi0-SBA-15 was firstly synthesized and applied for capture of iodine gas. Bi0-SBA-15 materials were prepared by an improved impregnation reduction method. The benefit of this method was that the Bi0 nanoparticles with flocculent and spherical morphologies were loaded on the surface of SBA-15, which provide abundant active sites for iodine and improve the utilization rate of active sites, so as to attain a record high capture capacity (up to 925 mg/g within 60 min) and high stablitiy (91.2%) at 200 °C. The results demonstrated that the loading of Bi0 on the surface showed a significant impact on the structure of Bi0-SBA-15 and did greatly enhance the iodine capture. Furthermore, the high iodine capture capacity mainly derived from the chemical adsorption in the stable form of BiI3. The obtained Bi0-SBA-15 materials exhibited excellent aqueous and irradiation stability. Thus, the results indicated that the new and highly efficient Bi0-SBA-15 was a potential radioactive iodine gas capture material.

Abstract
Efficient capture of radioactive iodine (129I, 131I) is of great significance in spent fuel treatment. In this paper, a new adsorbent named Catechin@ACF was successfully prepared through interface assembly of specific recognition gripper with plant polyphenols (catechin) on activated collagen fiber (ACF), and the catechin membrane with specific grip on iodine was successfully constructed on the surface of ACF. The results showed that the adsorbent assembled catechin membrane was rich in aromatic rings, hydroxyl groups and imine adsorption sites, and possessed specific recognition and capture characteristics of iodine. Moreover, the as-prepared Catechin@ACF showed excellent capture capacity for iodine vapor and iodine in organic solution with the maximum capture capacity of 2122.68 mg/g and 258.29 mg/g, respectively. In iodine-cyclohexane solution, the adsorption process was in according with the Pseudo first order kinetic and Langmuir isothermal model. In addition, the specific recognition and capture mechanism analysis indicated that the aromatic rings, phenolic hydroxyl groups and imine groups in the catechin membrane were the specific and effective grippers for iodine, and finally iodine formed a stable conjugated system with the adsorbent in the form of I- and I3-. Therefore, the as-prepared specific iodine capturer Catechin@ACF was expected to play a vital role in the capture of radioactive iodine in spent fuel off-gas because of its specific recognition, high capture capacity, large-scale preparation, and environment-friendly.

Abstract
The safe and effective capture and storage of iodine from nuclear waste is of great significance in industry. This article reports the preparation of a series of millimeter-sized ZIF-8@polyacrylonitrile composite beads with high specific surface area and porosity by the phase inversion method for iodine capture. The composite beads showed a higher capture capacity (4150 mg g−1) under excess iodine vapor. The amount of iodine adsorbed in the organic solution is also as high as 643 mg g−1, and the adsorption conforms to the Freundlich isotherm and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Moreover, composite beads also exhibit higher thermal stability (310 °C). Therefore, ZIF-8@polyacrylonitrile composite beads show great potential as a material for capturing and temporarily storing radioactive iodine.

Abstract
Developing an efficient and cheap iodine sorbent is of great practical significance in the modern nuclear industry. In this work, novel bismuth and silver functionalized Ni foam composites as iodine sorption materials (Bi-Ni foam and Ag-Ni foam) were successfully prepared via a simple solvothermal method. Through a series of iodine sorption experiments and characterization methods, iodine capture properties and corresponding sorption mechanism were comprehensively compared and thoroughly revealed. The results show that the core-sheath structure formed by the solvothermal reaction can supply more active sites (Bi0 or Ag0 particles) for the contact of radioactive iodine gas, thereby improving the sorption capacity of sorbents. Compared with Ag-Ni foam (456 mg/g), Bi-Ni foam exhibits a higher iodine capture capacity (658 mg/g), whereas silver-based material has a faster sorption kinetics. Such excellent sorption performances were attributed to the chemical reaction between Bi0/Ag0 particles and iodine gas, generating stable BiI3/AgI. In addition, this type of sorbents inherits the external structure of the Ni foam skeleton, decreasing the physically sorbed iodine, and can be prepared in different shapes and sizes, which is of great practical significance.

Abstract
Efficient iodine gas capture is necessitated in many industries like spent nuclear fuel off-gas treatment in view of environmental protection and resource recycling. However, the adsorption efficiency and stability of the current adsorbents are limited. In the present work, efficient and stable barbituric and thiobarbituric acid-based UiO-66-NH2 adsorbents (i.e., UiO-66-NH-B.D and UiO-66-NH-T.D, respectively) have been synthesized by post-synthetic covalent modification. Characterization approaches, including SEM-EDS, TEM, XRD, FTIR, XPS, 1H NMR, TGA and BET, are used to obtain information on the properties and adsorption mechanisms of these metal-organic framework (MOF) adsorbents. The kinetics and mechanisms involved are studied in detail. The treatment efficiency and recyclability of the adsorbents are checked and compared with the adsorbents reported in previous works. The results show that the current adsorbents are potentially suitable for efficient iodine gas capture. High maximum iodine adsorption amount by UiO-66-NH-B.D and UiO-66-NH-T.D (1.17 and 1.33 g/g) was achieved under 75 °C. These new adsorbents are thermally stable for iodine adsorption and regenerated and reused with good performance. The adsorption mechanisms were revealed based on experimental results, indicating that iodine is adsorbed by both physisorption and chemisorption.

Abstract
The adoption of nanodoped membranes in the areas of gas stream separation, water, and wastewater treatments due to the physical and operational advantages of such membranes has significantly increased. The literature has shown that the surface structure and physicochemical properties of nanodoped membranes contribute significantly to the interaction and rejection characteristics when compared to bare membranes. This study reviews the recent developments on nanodoped membranes, and their hybrids for carbon capture and gas separation operations. Features such as the nanoparticles/materials and hybrids used for membrane doping and the effect of physicochemical properties and water vapour in nanodoped membrane performance for carbon capture are discussed. The highlights of this review show that nanodoped membrane is a facile modification technique which improves the membrane performance in most cases and holds a great potential for carbon capture. Membrane module design and material, thickness, structure, and configuration were identified as key factors that contribute directly, to nanodoped membrane performance. This study also affirms that the three core parameters satisfied before turning a microporous material into a membrane are as follows: high permeability and selectivity, ease of fabrication, and robust structure. From the findings, it is also observed that the application of smart models and knowledge-based systems have not been extensively studied in nanoparticle-/material-doped membranes. More studies are encouraged because technical improvements are needed in order to achieve high performance of carbon capture using nanodoped membranes, as well as improving their durability, permeability, and selectivity of the membrane.

Abstract
The efficient capture and storage of radioactive iodine (129I or 131I) formed during the extensive use of nuclear energy is of paramount importance. Therefore, it is a great deal to design new adsorbents for effectively disposing of iodine from nuclear waste. In this work, a new Cu2O/TMU-17-NH2 composite has been prepared by a simple encapsulation of Cu2O nanoparticles (NPs) into the metal organic framework (MOF) TMU-17-NH2 for the first time. The as-synthesized Cu2O/TMU-17-NH2 was fully characterized in details and the iodine sorption/release capability of the Cu2O/TMU-17-NH2 composite has been investigated both in solution and in the vapor phase. According to the FE-SEM images, the Cu2O/TMU-17-NH2 was obtained with same morphology to that of the pristine TMU-17-NH2. The I2 sorption/release experiments were examined by UV-vis spectroscopy. The optimal iodine sorption was obtained by almost complete removal of iodine with a sorption capacity of about 567 mg/g. Detailed experimental evidence demonstrating that the iodine was captured by chemisorption process. Furthermore, photoluminescence (PL) properties of Cu2O/TMU-17-NH2 have also been investigated in which indicate that the Cu2O/TMU-17-NH2 composite exhibits stronger emission than the pristine TMU-17-NH2.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2020; 203:111021. [PMID: 32888607 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2020.111021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2020] [Revised: 07/02/2020] [Accepted: 07/08/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Volatile iodine released from nuclear power plant reactors is radiological hazard to environment and human's health because of their high fission yield and environmental mobility. The complexity of nuclear waste management motivated the development of solid-phase adsorbents. Herein, co-radiation induced graft polymerization (CRIGP) was employed in the graft polymerization of N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (NVP) onto polyethylene-coated polypropylene skin-core (PE/PP) fibers using electron beam (EB) irradiation. This work provides a one-step green synthetic approach to prepare iodine fibrous adsorbents without any chemical initiators or large amount of organic solvent. The original and modified PE/PP fibers were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermogravimetric (TG) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to demonstrate the grafting of NVP onto the PE/PP fibers. The capacity of iodine absorbed by the PE/PP-g-PNVP fibers was 1237.8 mg/g after 180 min. Meanwhile, absorbents can be regenerated efficiently by two different means of ethanol elution and heating at 120 °C, respectively. Within 10 min, 94.17% and 90.12% of the iodine can be released from the PE/PP-g-PNVP fibers with these two methods, respectively. The adsorbent exhibited a long service life of at least ten adsorption-desorption cycles, suggesting that PE/PP-g-PNVP fibers might be a promising adsorbent for volatile iodine adsorption from fission products in nuclear power plant reactors.

Abstract
This work focused on the utilization of biological extract for the preparation of lignin-based carbon composites materials and used in the field of photocatalysis. A straightforward one-step carbonization way has been developed to prepare vanadium-doped lignin-based carbon/Bi2O3 composites photocatalyst by using sodium lignosulfonate as the carbon source and catalyst. The application of lignin as the carbon source to form photocatalyst support tends to control the uniform distribution. At the same time, sodium lignosulfonate as the catalyst could break down the BiVO4 during carbonization process. A series of characterizations demonstrated the BiVO4 was transformed into Bi2O3 and vanadium-doped lignin-based carbon. The possible synthesis process was proposed. Moreover, the novel V-doped carbon/Bi2O3 composites photocatalyst displayed higher photocatalytic activity than bare BiVO4. A possible photocatalytic mechanism was also discussed. This work provided new insight into the lignin-based carbon materials.

Abstract
The effective adsorption of radioactive iodine is greatly desirable, but is still a significant challenge. In this manuscript, we report the synthesis of a bismuth-modified zinc aluminium layered double hydroxide (BiZnAl-LDH) via a co-precipitation method for the highly efficient absorption of iodine. Based on the robust chemical attraction between Bi and I2, BiZnAl-LDH exhibited highly effective iodine capture. Furthermore, to evaluate BiZnAl-LDH as an effective sorbent, it was characterized via X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersion spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FITR). In addition, to determine the morphology and iodine adsorption properties of BiZnAl-LDH, several studies were conducted. Through experiments, its elemental composition and vibration before and after iodine adsorption were analyzed via EDS and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). During the capture process, I2 is reduced to I− by the intercalated Bi3+via chemical adsorption, and the maximum adsorption capacity of BiZnAl-LDH for iodine reached up to 433 mg g−1, which had a surface area, average pore diameter, and pore volume of 36.259 m2 g−1, 2.374 nm, and 0.128 m3 g−1, respectively. Compared with several previous sorbents for iodine adsorption, BiZnAl-LDH exhibited an iodine adsorption of approximately two times that of the commercial Ag-exchange zeolite X, and furthermore BiZnAl-LDH is cost-effective. Thus, the substantial iodine capture by BiZnAl-LDH indicates that it is a capable sorbent for the effective elimination of radioactive iodine from reprocessing plant emissions. The effective adsorption of radioactive iodine is greatly desirable, but is still a significant challenge.![]()

Abstract
Antibiotics and heavy metals are frequently detected simultaneously in water environment. Effective elimination methods for antibiotics and heavy metals pollution should deserve our attention. This study investigates the adsorption performance of biochar modified with nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAP) on tylosin (TYL) and Cu from water simultaneously. Composite adsorbents of nHAP and biomass, derived from three waste residues, which were wood-processing residues (WR), wheat straw (WS) and Chinese medicine residues (CMR), were prepared. According to the results of orthogonal experiment, the degree of influence of the three factors on TYL and Cu were the pyrolysis temperature > the proportion of nHAP and biomass > the sources of biomass, and pyrolysis temperature> the sources of biomass> the proportion of nHAP and biomass, respectively. The optimum conditions for nHAP@biochar were screened. At pH < 7.0, the adsorption quality of TYL increased with pH increased, while at pH > 7.0, the adsorption quality of TYL changed slightly. At low pH, Cu and TYL could compete for the same adsorption sites on nHAP@biochars. The adsorption amount of TYL and Cu were both increased with increasing of the temperature. Compared with Langmuir model, Freundlich model could better fit the TYL adsorption on nHAP@biochars, with Kf values of TYL 62.35 (mmol/kg) (L/mmol)n (WR1) and 4.84 (mmol/kg) (L/mmol)n (CMR1), respectively.
