Description: |
id="eng-abstract"> Fresh biochar has been widely applied to the remediation of heavy metals in soil by its property of adsorption, but the changes in its physicochemical properties and in situ adsorption performance over time cannot be ignored. In this study, the sorption of Cd<sup>2+</sup> by corn straw biochars (CB) and municipal sludge biochars (SB) produced at 350 °C and 650 °C before and after H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> oxidation, and dry-wet and freeze-thaw aging were investigated using batch sorption experiments. The changes of physicochemical properties of biochar before and after aging were analyzed by various characterization methods. Based on these results, the impact of aging on the Cd<sup>2+</sup> adsorption behavior could be clarified, which showed that CB650 was able to display the highest adsorption capacity in fresh biochars. Aging treatments reduced the ash content and pH value of CB, and significantly diminished the adsorption performance of Cd<sup>2+</sup>. These changes indicated that precipitation was a critical factor in the adsorption of Cd<sup>2+</sup> on CB. The adsorption capacity of SB was enhanced after H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> oxidation, but weakened after dry-wet and freeze-thaw aging. This was closely related to the increase or decrease in the content of oxygen-containing functional groups, which in turn enhanced or inhibited its ability to compound with heavy metals. These results are of great significance for evaluating its long-term application prospects in the natural environment. |
