Journal ArticleDOI
A review of biochar as a low-cost adsorbent for aqueous heavy metal removal
Mandu Inyang,Bin Gao,Ying Yao,Yingwen Xue,Andrew R. Zimmerman,Ahmed Mosa,Pratap Pullammanappallil,Yong Sik Ok,Xinde Cao +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review incorporating existing literature to understand the overall sorption behavior of heavy metals on biochar adsorbents is presented, and mathematical models are used to evaluate the efficiency of biochar at removing heavy metals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of heavy metals from aqueous solution by biochars derived from anaerobically digested biomass
Mandu Inyang,Bin Gao,Ying Yao,Yingwen Xue,Yingwen Xue,Andrew R. Zimmerman,Pratap Pullammanappallil,Xinde Cao +7 more
TL;DR: Investigation of lead sorption by the two biochars indicated that the removal was mainly through a surface precipitation mechanism, which was confirmed by batch sorption experiments, mathematical modeling, and examinations of lead-laden biochar samples using SEM-EDS, XRD, and FTIR.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogen peroxide modification enhances the ability of biochar (hydrochar) produced from hydrothermal carbonization of peanut hull to remove aqueous heavy metals: Batch and column tests
Yingwen Xue,Yingwen Xue,Bin Gao,Ying Yao,Mandu Inyang,Ming Zhang,Andrew R. Zimmerman,Kyoung S. Ro +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of H2O2 treatment on hydrothermally produced biochar (hydrochar) from peanut hull to remove aqueous heavy metals was examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of porous MgO-biochar nanocomposites for removal of phosphate and nitrate from aqueous solutions
TL;DR: In this article, a new synthesis was developed to create highly porous nanocomposite material consisting of MgO nano-flakes within a biochar matrix that has high sorption ability for ionic contaminations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of Pb(II), Cu(II), and Cd(II) from aqueous solutions by biochar derived from KMnO4 treated hickory wood
TL;DR: In this work, a novel approach was developed to prepare an engineered biochar from KMnO4 treated hickory wood through slow pyrolysis (600°C) that had strong sorption ability and the removal of the heavy metals by the biochars was mainly through surface adsorption mechanisms involving both the surface MnOx particles and oxygen-containing groups.
