摘要: In this study, Fe-rich sludge obtained from coagulation-flocculation of swine wastewater was processed into zero-valent iron (ZVI) biochar composites through one-pot pyrolysis at 700 degrees C under anoxic (MBCN700) and hypoxic (MBCA700) conditions. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that alpha-Fe-0 and gamma-Fe-0 were the dominant Fe species in MBCN700 and MBCA700, respectively. The effects of different process parameters, including composite dosage, initial Cr(VI) concentration, pH, dissolved O-2 (DO), and contact time on Cr(VI) removal from synthetic solutions were evaluated. The results showed that both the acidic initial pH and DO contributed to Cr(VI) removal; the highest removal rate was observed at pH 3. Based on the Langmuir isotherm model, the predicted maximum removal capacity of MBCA(700) was greater than that of MBCN700, primarily because of its core-shell structure, less corrosive ZVI, and higher degree of graphitization. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis coupled with fitting of the kinetic (pseudo-second-order) and isothermal (Freundlich) data suggested that Cr(VI) removal by MBCN700 occurred via adsorption, Fe-C micro-electrolysis, and co-precipitation. In contrast, the removal mechanism for MBCA(700) included adsorption, reduction, and electrostatic attraction. Thus, ZVI biochar composites can serve as potential remediators of Cr(VI)-contaminated wastewater.
