Abstract
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) derived from biochar takes a crucial role in transport and bioavailability toward contaminants; hence, it is undeniable that a thorough analysis of its properties is important. So far, the effect of pyrolysis temperature on the functional groups, components, and evolutionary sequence of manure-based biochar DOM has not been adequately investigated. Here, DOM was released from two typical livestock manures (cow and pig) at five pyrolysis temperatures (300 ~ 700°C), and it was explored in depth with the aid of moving window 2D correlation spectroscopy (MW-2D-COS) and heterogeneous 2D correlation spectroscopy (hetero-2D-COS). The results demonstrated that the concentration, aromaticity, and hydrophobicity of DOM were greater at high temperatures, and more DOM was liberated from cow manure-based biochar at identical temperature. Protein-like compounds dominated at high temperatures. The pyrolysis temperatures of final configuration transformation points of the fulvic acid-like component and the aromatic ring C=C in DOM were 400°C and 500°C, respectively. Moreover, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy combined with two-dimensional correlation analysis indicated that the functional group evolution of DOM depends on the pyrolysis temperature and feedstock type. The study provides a new perspective on manure management and environmental applications of biochar.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:3761. [PMID: 36834455 PMCID: PMC9963283 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20043761] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2023] [Revised: 02/16/2023] [Accepted: 02/17/2023] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Biochar can effectively reduce the phytoavailability of mercury (Hg) in soil, but the mechanisms are not fully understood. In this study, the dynamic changes in Hg content adsorbed by the biochar (BC-Hg), Hg phytoavailability in the soil (P-Hg), and soil dissolved organic matter (DOM) characteristics were determined over a 60-day treatment period. Biochar obtained at 300 °C, 500 °C and 700 °C reduced the P-Hg concentration assessed by MgCl2 extraction by 9.4%, 23.5% and 32.7%, respectively. However, biochar showed a very limited adsorption on Hg, with the maximum BC-Hg content only accounting for 1.1% of the total amount. High-resolution scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) results showed that the proportion of Hg atoms in biochar after 60 d was barely detectable. Biochar treatment can shift soil DOM toward higher aromatic content and molecular weight. Additionally, the addition of high-temperature biochar increased more humus-like components, but low-temperature biochar increased more protein-like components. Correlation analysis and partial least squares path modeling (PLS-PM) showed that biochar promoted humus-like fractions formation to reduce the Hg phytoavailability. This research has deepened the understanding of the mechanisms by which biochar stabilizes Hg in agricultural soils.

Enhanced benzofluoranthrene removal in constructed wetlands with iron- modified biochar: Mediated by dissolved organic matter and microbial response. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 443:130322. [PMID: 36368068 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.130322] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2022] [Revised: 10/19/2022] [Accepted: 11/02/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) pose a high risk to ecosystems owing to their adverse environmental effects. The use of biochar in constructed wetlands (CWs) to remove PAH has received increased interest, but is frequently challenging because of saturation adsorption. To enhance the microbial degradation, electron acceptors are provided. This study aimed to remove a representative PAH, benzofluoranthrene (BbF), using iron-modified biochar as a supplement to the CW substrate. Results revealed that iron-mediated biochar based CWs increased the removal of BbF by 20.4 % and ammonium by 25.6 %. The BbF retained in substrate with biochar (36.6 % higher content) and further removed with iron modification (40.6 % lower content). Iron-modified biochar increased dissolved organic carbon content, particularly low-aromaticity, and low-molecular-weight organic matters (25.7 % higher tryptophan-like material), which contributed to PAH degradation by microorganisms. Microbial analysis confirmed that iron-mediated biochar enriched the abundance of microbes (e.g., Cellulomonas, Actinotalea, and Sphingomonas) and key enzymes (e.g., catA, lipV, and sdhA) that are involved in PAH degradation. Higher proportion of iron-reducing bacteria (e. g., Thiobacillus, Rhodobacter) played a significant role in driving microbial iron cycle, which was beneficial for PAHs removal. Based on the results, we confirmed that the use of iron-modified biochar in CWs enhance PAH removal.

Abstract
Black carbon (BC) exports huge amounts of its derived DOM from terrestrial ecosystems annually through a variety of ways (i.e., erosion or runoff migration). The pyrolytic feedstock type and temperature resulted in DOM derived from highly condensed aromatic and non-aromatic BC. However, the behaviors of low aromatic BC-derived DOM at diverse leaching time are poorly understood. In this work, low aromatic BCs were prepared by pyrolysis corn straws at 250 °C, 350 °C and 450 °C. Extraction experiments for four leaching time (6 h, 10 h, 15 h and 21 h) were set up to simulate BC-derived DOM generative process in nature. The phytotoxicity of BC-derived DOM was evaluated via germination index (GI). Spectral characteristics were discussed to analyze the phytotoxicity variations of fluorescence components composition at different time, including the excitation-emission matrix-parallel factor, two-dimensional correlation spectra and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results suggested that low aromatic BC-derived DOM might contain aromatic phenolic compounds. A longer time contributed to accumulate the complex, hard-to-use organic matters, leading to lower GI. These results would supplement the dynamic spectral characteristics of low aromatic BC-derived DOM and its environmental risks during the leaching process.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 828:154339.

Abstract
The content of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and potentially toxic elements (PTEs) were investigated in the bottom ash (BA) and fly ash (FA) of different sections of the municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) plant. BA and FA were collected from the dry (BA1-BA2), burn (BA3-BA4), and burn-out (BA5) sections of the grate incinerator; FA was collected after denitration (DNFA), and from the deacidification tower (FA1) and bag-type dust remover (FA2), respectively. The DOM concentration in BA was higher than that in FA, the highest concentration was in BA3 (556.18 mg/kg), while the lowest concentration was in DNFA (17.53 mg/kg). DOM in BA was mainly composed of protein-like, fulvic-like, tryptophan-like, and humic-like substances, of which humic-like substances accounted for more than 40%. DOM in FA consisted of tryptophan-like and humic-like substances, of which humic-like substances accounted for more than 80%. DOM still existed in BA which may be related to the incomplete combustion, and the influence of microbes, while DOM was increased in FA1, which might be due to the addition of lime slurry. PTEs were analyzed by the Tessier extraction method, Fe-Mn hydroxide-bound fraction of PTEs increased in FA1 in which DOM concentration (137.22 mg/kg) was 7.83 times that in DNFA. The increase of DOM may lead to a higher risk of PTEs in FA. FTIR results indicated that DOM can bond to PTEs in BA and FA. The contents of humus-like substances in DOM were positively correlated with the effective fraction of As, Cu, Pb, Cr, and Cd. This paper investigated the risk of DOM existing in BA and FA in MSWI plant, which can provide a new perspective on how to deal with BA and FA, and reduce their environmental risks.

Abstract
The chitosan-modified biochar composite, as a carbohydrate polymer, has received increasing attention and becomes a research hotspot. It is a promising impurity adsorption material, which has potential application value in the agricultural environment fields such as soil improvement and sewage purification. The composite can combine the advantages of biochar with chitosan, and the resulting composite usually exhibits a great improvement in its surface functional groups, adsorption sites, stability, and adsorption properties. In addition, compared to other adsorbents, the composite truly achieves the concept of "waste control by waste". In this paper, the preparation method, composite classification, adsorption mechanism, and models of biochar modified by chitosan are introduced, meanwhile, we also review and summarize their effects on the decontamination of wastewater and soil. In addition to common heavy metal ions, we also review the adsorption and removal of some other organic/inorganic pollutants, including (1) drug residues; (2) dyes; (3) phosphates; (4) radionuclides; (5) perfluorochemicals, etc. Moreover, challenges and prospects for the composite are presented and further studies are called for the chitosan-biochar composite. We believe that the composite will lead to further achievements in the field of environmental remediation.

Abstract
The study highlights the potential of Vetiveria Zizanioides derived biochar for heavy metal removal in multicomponent systems. Biochar efficiency varies with pH, metal ion concentration and residence time. Maximum removal efficiency was found to be 66.34, 67.23, 46.54, 69.92, 68.23 and 63.34% for Arsenic, Copper, Nickel, Cadmium, Lead and Chromium at 90 min respectively. Ternary system revealed that Copper ions have inhibitory effect on Lead ions and have lower adsorption capacity than binary system. Multicomponent isotherm model was used to analyse simultaneous adsorption of metal ions and shows a good fit with modified Langmuir model for binary and ternary systems. Fixed-bed column was tested for scale-up feasibility and maximum adsorption capacity of 139, 130, and 123 mg/g for Lead, Copper, and Nickel ions were obtained at 1.5 L/h and a bed height of 12 cm. In fixed bed column, multicomponent sequence provides more protection against premature exhaustion of biochar.
