Description

SPECIFICATION MODIFIED BIOCHAR AND PREPARATION METHOD AND APPLICATION THEREOF TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of soil and water heavy metal
restoration, in particular to a modified biochar and its preparation method and
application.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Arsenic is a kind of carcinogenic trace metal that has long been regarded as the
main hazard to human health thus has attracted global attention; people feeding on
water and food that contains excessive amounts of arsenic in long term can cause
disease and cancer in human organs; China is one of the countries seriously polluted
by arsenic, and there are large areas of low-to-medium polluted soils, such as Shimen
city in Hunan province, Chenzhou city in Yunnan province, Wenshan city in Guangxi
province, and Hechi city in Guangxi province; the Ministry of Environmental
Protection and the Ministry of Land and Resources jointly issued a national pollution
survey bulletin in 2014; said survey basically grasped the overall status of the soil
environment in China, said survey results indicated that the national soil environment
is worrisome; some areas are seriously polluted and the quality of cultivated land is
not in optimistic status; therefore, the soil problems are prominent; national total soil
point over-standard rate reached 16.1%, and the over-standard rate of arsenic points in
the inorganic pollutant index reached 2.7%; in the face of severe arsenic pollution,
restoration of arsenic pollution cannot be underestimated.
[0003] At present, there are two approaches to treat soil polluted by heavy metals; one
is to remove the pollutants, namely, to decontaminate; the other is to change the form
of heavy metals in the soil by fixing them, reducing the activity of said pollutants, and
reduce the mobility and bioavailability of pollutants in the soil, namely, stabilization;
around these two approaches, different treatment measures and methods have
SPECIFICATION
emerged, mainly including engineering measures, electric remediation methods,
chemical leaching methods, bioremediation methods, agronomic measures and in-situ
passivation methods; however, since each method has certain limitations, none of
them has become an ideal repair measure; for example, although engineering
measures have a thorough and stable advantage in the treatment of heavy metal
contaminated soil, however it has disadvantages like high in cost and time-consuming
as well as labor-intensive, thus it is difficult to promote and can cause damage to the
soil structure, and soil fertility to decline; electric remediation method is limited to
soil remediation in a small area; chemical leaching method is likely to cause a large
amount of soil nutrients to be leached at the same time, leaching waste liquid can
increase subsequent treatment costs, and is restricted by soil texture, leaching agent
type, and water source; although the bioremediation method can achieve the purpose
of decontamination, but it needs a long remediation period, and is greatly affected by
climate and soil conditions, and the remediation efficiency is low; compared with
many other soil pollution remediation methods, the in-situ passivation method is
suitable for large-scale promotion due to its low cost, strong operability, remarkable
effect, and environmental friendliness, especially for the large area of medium and
low pollution farmland in China today; the application prospect of this technology is
good, and it has attracted the attention of the majority of scientific researchers in
recent years.
[0004] Said passivating agents for soil heavy metal pollution restoration mainly
include phosphorus-containing substances, silicon-calcium compounds, organic
materials, clay minerals, metals and metal oxides, and biochar and other functional
materials; many cases related with the use of biochar and metal oxides to successfully
carrying out arsenic pollution remediation have been reported.
[0005] Biochar is a carbon-rich and stable solid product obtained by pyrolysis of
organic materials such as crop straw and wood under hypoxia or anaerobic conditions;
it is an environmentally friendly passivation material; it has the advantages of porosity,
large specific surface area, rich surface active functional groups, and has the effect of
SPECIFICATION
carbon fixation and emission reduction; it is an environmentally friendly material with easy-to-obtain raw materials; however, more and more studies have shown that biochar has a limited ability to fix arsenic; adsorption performance of biochar for heavy metals not only depends on its pore structure, but also closely related to the chemical properties of its surface; modifying the surface of biochar or treating it with chemical reagents to improve its adsorption capacity has become a new research hotspot.
[0006] Many studies in recent years have shown that surface modification of biochar and effective loading of metals and metal oxides, such as manganese, iron, etc., can greatly improve the ability of biochar to adsorb and fix arsenic; Chinese patent CN107824612A discloses a preparation method of Fe 3 0 4 -based biochar soil passivation agent, which can improve the stability of heavy metals Pb and Cd thus prevent heavy metals from being absorbed by crops, but the method does not mention the effect of As; Chinese patent CN108816188A discloses a goethite modified biochar and its preparation method and application; said modified biochar provided by it has a relatively low adsorption capacity for arsenic.

[0082] Table 1 indicates that when the molar ratio of cerium to manganese is 2.5:1,
the modified biochar can achieve the best passivation effect on arsenic in the soil;
moreover, it not only has a good fixation effect on arsenic, but also has a certain
passivation effect on copper and lead in the soil.
[0083] Adsorption performance of biochar materials for arsenic in solution
[0084] Weigh 0.100g unmodified carbonized composite and modified biochar
obtained in embodiment 1 respectively; put them in a 50mL centrifuge tube, and add
mL of As(V) solution with a concentration of 50mg-L -1 respectively; oscillate at a
constant speed of 180r-min -1 at room temperature; after shaking for 2min, 5min,
min, 30min, 60min, 120min, 240min, 360min, 480min and 720mn, finish the
centrifugal separation; after filtering the supernatant, said arsenic content was
measured with an atomic fluorescence spectrometer, and the adsorption amount was
calculated based on the difference with the initial concentration; each treatment was
repeated 3 times; results are shown in table 2; table 2 indicates the adsorption capacity
of carbonized composite and modified biochar for arsenic.
[0085] Table 2: Comparison of arsenic adsorption capacity of carbonized composite
and modified biochar
[0086] Table 2 indicates that adsorption capacity of carbonized composite for arsenic
is 0.79mg-kg -1, and the adsorption capacity of modified biochar for arsenic is
79.73g-kg -1; arsenic adsorption capacity of the modified biochar provided by this
invention is 98.01 times higher than that of the unmodified carbonized composite.
[0087] Biochar's ability to remove arsenic from polluted water
[0088] Weigh 0.100g carbonized composite and modified biomass charcoal in

solution with concentrations of 5mg-L -1, 10mg-L -1, 20mg-L -1, 50mg-L -1, 100mg-L -1, 150mg-L -1, 200mg-L -1 respectively; repeat each treatment 3 times;
SPECIFICATION
after shaking at room temperature for 12 hours, take out said solution for centrifugal
filtration, measure the concentration of arsenic in the filtrate; removal rate of arsenic
in polluted water was compared between the two biochar materials; results are
indicated as table 3; table 3 indicates removal rate of arsenic in polluted water by
carbonized composite and modified biochar.
[0089] Table 3 indicates that when the concentration of arsenic in the water body is
-20mg-L -1, the removal rate of arsenic by modified biochar is over 99.95%, while
the removal rate of unmodified carbonized composite for arsenic in water body is
3.28-9.03%; with increase of the concentration of arsenic in the water body, removal
rates of arsenic by the modified biochar and the carbonized composite are in a
downward trend, but the modified biochar has better removal function than that of
said carbonized composite; Langmuir isotherm curve indicates that the maximum
adsorption capacity of modified biochar for arsenic is 96.13mg-g -1, while the
maximum adsorption capacity of unmodified carbonized composite for arsenic is only
1.23mg-g -1; it can be seen that removal rate of arsenic by modified biochar is greatly
improved, and its ability to remove arsenic from water bodies is greatly increased.
[0090] Table 4 indicates adsorption capacity of arsenic in polluted water by
carbonized composite and modified biochar
[0091] Table 4 indicates adsorption capacity of arsenic in polluted water by
carbonized composite and modified biochar; table 4 indicates that adsorption capacity
of modified biochar to arsenic is much higher than that of carbonized composite.
[0092] Table 4 indicates adsorption capacity of arsenic in polluted water by
carbonized composite and modified biochar

to 3 to the arsenic-containing waste liquid is 5-20g/L, such as 6g/L, 8g/L, 10g/L,
12g/L or 18g/L, removal efficiency of said modified biochar for arsenic in the
arsenic-containing waste liquid is still higher than the corresponding removal rate
indicated in table 3.

[0095] (1) Test soil
[0096] Three types of test soil were collected from red soil developed by slate shale in
Shimen county, Hunan province, yellow soil developed by granite in Sanmen county,
Fujian province, and purple soil developed by purple sand shale in Suining city,
Sichuan province; said collected soil samples are naturally air-dried and passed
through a 2mm sieve for use; take 1OOg of soil and pass it through a 0.149mm sieve,
and determine the relevant indicators according to the conventional soil agricultural
chemistry analysis method; said red soil is the As-contaminated vegetable soil near
the Shimen realgar mining area; total As content is 162.2mg-kg -1, and the
water-soluble As content is 0.19mg-kg -1; said yellow and purple soil come from
vegetable soil and are artificially simulated As contaminated soil; they are prepared by
adding a certain concentration of Na 3 AsO 5 solution to aging for 3 months, and then
receive air-drying, grinding and sieving; total As content of yellow soil and purple soil
were 148.5 mg-kg -1 and 156.8 mg-kg -1, respectively, and the water-soluble As
content was 1.75 mg-kg -1 and 5.43 mg-kg -1 respectively; basic soil properties are as
follow: said red soil, yellow soil and purple soil have pH values of 5.65, 4.14 and 7.43
respectively; total N content is 0.90, 0.86 and 0.39g-kg -1 respectively; total P content

[0097] (2) Test materials
[0098] Use carbonized composite and modified biochar obtained in embodiment 1
[0099] (3) Soil cultivation experiment
[0100] Use said 3 types of soil for cultivation experiment; accurately weigh 120g of
said red, yellow and purple soil and place them in 250mL beakers, and then apply the
carbonized composite and modified biochar into the soil at a mass ratio of 1 %, 5%, and 10%, respectively; mix said carbonized composite and modified biochar with said
soil thoroughly; set blank control check (CK) treatment for said soil samples at the
same time; all treatments maintain 70% field water holding capacity and place them
in a constant temperature incubator for cultivation; repeat said treatments for three
SPECIFICATION
time respectively; supplement water by constant weight method to maintain 70% of
the field water holding capacity for cultivation; samples were taken when the
cultivation was carried out to 1, 3, 5, 7, 15, and 30 days to analyze the effective As
content in the soil.
[0101] Above-mentioned arsenic content was tested by hydride generation-atomic
fluorescence spectroscopy (HG-AFS 9120, Beijing Jitian Instrument, detection limit
<0.024g-L -1 ).
[0102] Table 5 indicates fixation efficiency of arsenic by carbonized composite and
modified biochar with different addition amount after 30 days of cultivation.
[0103] Table 5 indicates that after applying the unmodified carbonized composite, the
water-soluble As content in the red soil has increased significantly, and it continues to
increase with the increase in the amount; after the application of modified biochar, the
water-soluble As content in the red soil decreased significantly, and the reduction
range was 70.59-94.72%, and with the increase of the modified biochar application,
said water-soluble As content decreased more.
[0104] For yellow soil, although low application of said unmodified carbonized
composite indicates slight fixation effect for the As in the soil; release of As was also
significantly increased with the increase in the amount of said composite, especially at
addition amount of 10%; when it was cultured for 30 days, said water-soluble As
content increased by 119.77% compared with the control in the same period; however,
after the application of modified biochar, content of soil water-soluble As was greatly
reduced, and reduction range of addition amount treatment in 1% was 43.00-75.36%;
with increase in the addition amount of modified biochar, reduction range of soil
water-soluble As increased; fixation efficiency of As in yellow soil treated with 10%
addition amount at 30 days was 98.35%.
[0105] Unmodified carbonized composite promotes the activation of As in purple soil;
after applying modified biochar, content of active As in purple soil is greatly reduced;
when it was cultivated for 30 days, modified biochar treatment in 1% reduces the
water-soluble As content by 80.45% compared with the soil of the control period; as
SPECIFICATION
the application amount of modified biochar increases, fixation efficiency of As in soil increases; addition amount treatment in 10% was 99.61% lower than the control over
the same period; compared with the addition amount treatment in 1%, fixation efficiency was greatly improved.
[0106] In general, compared with said three types of soil, said modified biochar all showed good fixation performance for As in soil, and thefixation efficiency order was as follow: purple soil>yellow soil>red soil; when the addition amount of modified biochar is 10%, fixation efficiency of modified biochar to As in soil is above 95%.
[0107] Table 5: Fixation efficiency of arsenic by carbonized composite and modified biochar with different addition amount after 30 days of cultivation
[0108] Therefore, application of modified biochar greatly reduces the effective arsenic contained by different types of soil, thereby fixing the active arsenic in the soil to a certain extent.
