The removal of contaminants in co-solute systems is a pressing issue. Herein, the adsorption capacities of magnetic biochars and activated carbon were investigated and compared for various aqueous anions, including As(V), tetracycline (TC) and NO3−, existed alone or as a mixture. One-step (pre-treating biomass with FeCl3 before pyrolysis (FB)) and two-step (pyrolysing biomass before modification with FeCl3 (BF)) magnetization methods were applied to synthesize magnetic biochars. Magnetic activated carbon (AF) was also prepared with the two-step magnetization method. FB presented the highest adsorption capacities for As(V) and NO3− respectively at 6.77 and 6.31 mg g−1. AC (612.38 mg g−1) showed the highest adsorption capacity for TC, which decreased by 189.76% after magnetization. Magnetization was proved to be a promising method to improve the adsorption of both As(V) and NO3− on adsorbents through enhanced electrostatic attraction, while the adsorption of TC depended mainly on high specific surface area of the adsorbent. Results from competitive adsorption in the co-solute systems suggested that FB had a great potential for application in the co-contaminated environment (heavy metal and inorganic anions), and AF could be a promising adsorbent to remediate multiple-contaminated environment (i.e. organic pollution and heavy metal/inorganic anions).

磁性生物炭和活性炭吸附砷(V),四环素和硝酸根离子的比较研究
在共溶体系中去除污染物是一个紧迫的问题。在此,磁性生物炭和活性炭的吸附能力进行了研究,并用于各种含水阴离子,包括随着(V),四环素(TC)和NO相比3 - ,存在单独使用或作为混合物使用。采用一步法(热解(FB)前用FeCl 3预处理生物质)和两步法(FeCl 3改性(BF)前将生物质热解)磁化法合成磁性生物炭。还通过两步磁化方法制备了磁性活性炭(AF)。FB呈现最高吸附容量为的As(V)和NO 3 -分别在6.77和6.31毫克克-1。AC(612.38 mg g -1)对TC表现出最高的吸附能力,在磁化后下降了189.76%。磁化被证明是改善两者的As(V)和NO的吸附有希望的方法3 -上通过增强静电引力的吸附剂,而TC的吸附主要取决于吸附剂的高比表面积。共溶体系中竞争性吸附的结果表明,FB在共污染环境(重金属和无机阴离子)中具有巨大的应用潜力,AF可能是有望修复多污染环境(即有机污染)的吸附剂和重金属/无机阴离子)。
