Abstract:

Addressing the resource utilization of chicken manure and the management of cadmium pollution in wastewater,using chicken manure as raw material,after synergistic treatment with wet phosphoric acid and potassium hydroxide,biochar(CMBC) was prepared by limited oxygen pyrolysis at 300,500,and 700 ℃ respectively.Fundamental properties of the biochar were analyzed using elemental analysis,specific surface area and pore size distribution analyzers,Raman spectroscopy,X-ray fluorescence(XRF),and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR).The adsorption properties and mechanisms of biochar for Cd2+ were investigated.The results indicated that when the pyrolysis temperature was increased from 300 ℃ to 500 ℃,significant changes occurred in the physicochemical properties of biochar,including yield,ash content,elemental composition,and pore structure.The specific surface area of CMBC500 reached 141.64 m²/g,with a total pore volume of 0.141 1 cm³/g and an average pore diameter of 4.82 nm,demonstrating that higher pyrolysis temperatures were more conducive to adsorption.Notably,CMBC500 exhibited a maximum adsorption capacity of 99.28 mg/g.However,further increasing the pyrolysis temperature from 500 ℃ to 700 ℃ resulted in minimal changes in both the physicochemical properties and adsorption capacity of the biochar.The adsorption process of Cd2+ onto biochar was followed the Elovich equation and Sips model,suggesting a non-homogeneous adsorption process involving diverse mechanisms.With the increases of the initial solution pH,the adsorption capability of Cd2+ of biochar was improved.The presence of Ca2+ and Mg2+ also led to a reduction in adsorption capacity.Based on the adsorption experiment,the adsorption of Cd2+ by CMBC was mainly physical adsorption,supplemented by chemical adsorption such as electrostatic interaction,ion exchange,and functional group complexation.
