Abstract [en]

As an in-situ immobilization material for heavy metals, biochar can exist in the environment for thousands of years, while whether the natural aging would affect its heavy metals adsorption performance still remains unclear. Therefore, the coffee grounds biochar (CGB) was prepared under different pyrolysis temperatures (300, 500 and 700 degrees C) in this study, and the simulated artificial aging treatment was carried out to investigate the effects of pyrolysis temperature and aging treatment on Cd2+ and Zn2+ (both separate and combined conditions) adsorption performance of CGB. The result revealed that Fresh-CGB adsorption performance increased with increasing pyrolysis temperature, while the relationship was not so clear with Aged-CGB where adsorption performance peaked at medium pyrolysis temperature (500 degrees C) but reduced again as pyrolysis temperature increased to 700 degrees C. The changes of Aged-CGB adsorption performance for Cd2+ and Zn2+ represented the longterm performance of naturally aging biochar in environment, and a mid-range pyrolysis temperature would seem most appropriate for long-term application of biochar. The X-ray Diffraction (XRD) result revealed that the degree of graphitization of CGB increased with increasing pyrolysis temperature, which represents a stronger environmental stability as the weight loss of CGB300, CGB500 and CGB700 after aging treatment was 2.38%, 0.66%, and 0%, respectively. The EDS and FTIR results suggested that ion-exchange and complexation between CGB/Aged-CGB with Cd2+/Zn2+ played a dominant role in adsorption processes. In addition, the selectivity for Cd2+ was significantly improved after the aging treatment. This is desirable given the stronger toxicity of Cd2+ relative to Zn2+. In general, this study provides new insights into the practical application of biochar from the perspective of long-term effects.
