CORNCOB DRIVEN BIOCHAR FOR ADSORPTION OF WATER POLLUTANTS

Biochar Adsorption Treatment for Typical Pollutants Removal in Livestock Wastewater: A Review

Biochar, as an high efficiency, environmental friendly, and low-cost adsorbent, is usually used as soil conditioner, bio-fuel, and carbon sequestration regent. Recently, biochar has attracted much attention in wastewater treatment field. There are plenty of studies about application of biochar to adsorb pollutants in wastewater, because of its low-cost preparation, high surface area, large pore...

Adsorption of Gaseous Pollutants

Thermodynamic and Kinetic Studies: Adsorption of Fe (III) onto Corncob

Heavy metals released into the surface and ground water has been a major preoccupation for many years because of their increased discharge, acute toxicity, non-biodegradable nature and tendency for bioaccumulation [1-3]. Iron a common contaminant enters the water bodies through effluents of industries such as electroplating, mining, steel processing etc. The presence of Fe (II) in water results...

Adsorption Technique for the Removal of Organic Pollutants from Water and Wastewater

Organic pollution is the term used when large quantities of organic compounds. It origi‐ nates from domestic sewage, urban run-off, industrial effluents and agriculture wastewater. sewage treatment plants and industry including food processing, pulp and paper making, agriculture and aquaculture. During the decomposition process of organic pollutants the dissolved oxygen in the receiving water m...

Adsorption of sulfamethoxazole on biochar and its impact on reclaimed water irrigation.

Reclaimed water irrigation can satisfy increasing water demand, but it may also introduce pharmaceutical contaminants into the soil and groundwater environment. In this work, a range of laboratory experiments were conducted to test whether biochar can be amended in soils to enhance removal of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) from reclaimed water. Eight types of biochar were tested in laboratory sorption ...
