    Anionic dye removal from aqueous solutions using standard biochars
    2022 - GUILHEN, SABINE N.; MARTINS, GABRIEL F.; MARUMO, JULIO T.; ARAUJO, LEANDRO G. de
    One of the most serious problems related to water pollution by the textile, plastics, leather and food industries, among others, is the emission of aqueous effluents containing dyes. The most commercially used dyes are resistant to biodegradation, photodegradation and the action of oxidizing agents. The presence of dyes in water bodies can significantly and adversely affect the photosynthesis of aquatic plants by reducing the penetration of sunlight. In addition, they can be toxic to certain forms of aquatic life. Treatment of aqueous effluents containing dyes can involve a variety of materials and techniques, of which adsorption stands out for its simplicity, low cost and efficiency. In this study, standard biochars derived from wheat straw (WSP), oil seed rape straw (OSR) and Miscanthus straw (MSP), obtained at two different pyrolytic temperatures (550 °C and 700 °C), were investigated as adsorptive materials for remazol black (RB) dye. Maximum adsorption capacities were obtained at a dosage of 5 g L-1 for most of the BCs, except for MSP550, for which the dosage of 10 g L-1 achieved the highest performance. pH effect indicated that most of the adsorptive functionalities of the BCs are favored at pH 5. The steps currently in progress refer to the experimental design for the optimization of adsorption parameters and will be added in the full paper.

    Role of point of zero charge in the adsorption of cationic textile dye on standard biochars from aqueous solutions
    2022 - GUILHEN, SABINE N.; WATANABE, TAMIRES; SILVA, THALITA T.; ROVANI, SUZIMARA; MARUMO, JULIO T.; TENORIO, JORGE A.S.; MASEK, ONDREJ; ARAUJO, LEANDRO G. de
    The point of zero charge (PZC) is an inherent electrokinetic property of biochars (BC). It influences the adsorption process under certain pH conditions. Herein, we report the method of determination of the PZC values of ten standard BCs. We used the salt addition method to select the BCs with suitable properties for methylene blue (MB) removal from aqueous solutions. The standard BCs were obtained by pyrolyzing five different biomasses at two distinct temperatures (550°C and 700°C). The BCs derived from rice husk (pHPZC at 7.22 and 7.64 for RH550 and RH700, respectively) and softwood pellets (pHPZC at 6.57 and 6.78 for SWP500 and SWP700, respectively) were selected for their compatibility with cationic dyes such as MB. Results from adsorption experiments indicated the potential use of the RH biochar as an adsorbent for the removal of MB from aqueous solutions. The removal efficiencies were 68.83% and 71.97% for RH550 and RH700, respectively. Considerably low values were obtained for SWP550 and SWP700 (21.61% and 22.84%, respectively). Equilibrium was achieved at 2 h for RH550 and 1 h for RH700, and the adsorption kinetics for the RH BCs could be described by a pseudo-second order equation. The results revealed that even when produced under comparable conditions, BCs obtained from different feedstocks exhibited different cationic dye removing abilities. BCs optimized for the removal of cationic or anionic dyes can be easily engineered by appropriately matching the feedstock with the processing conditions.

    Influence of adsorption parameters on uranium adsorption capability by biochar derived from macauba coconut residue
    2019 - GUILHEN, S.N.; COLETI, J.; TENORIO, J.A.S.; FUNGARO, D.A.
    Biochar (BC) is a carbon-rich product obtained when biomass is thermally decomposed at relatively low temperatures (under 700ºC) and limited supply of oxygen in a process called pyrolysis. Because of its porous structure, charged sur-face and surface functional groups, BC exhibits a great potential as an adsorbent. Its characteristics strongly depend on the feedstock and the pyrolysis conditions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the adsorption potential for the remov-al of uranium, U(VI) from aqueous solutions using BC obtained through slow pyrolysis of the macauba coconut endo-carp. The influence of parameters such as pH, sorbent dose and initial concentration on the adsorption of U(VI) was investigated. The BC obtained at 350 °C (BC350) presented a removal percentage of approx. 80 %, demonstrating its applicability for the treatment of uranium contaminated aqueous solutions.

    Influence of pyrolytic temperature on uranium adsorption capability by biochar derived from macauba coconut residue
    2017 - GUILHEN, SABINE N.; COLETI, JORGE; TENORIO, JORGE A.S.; FUNGARO, DENISE A.
    Biochar (BC) is a carbon-rich product obtained when biomass is thermally decomposed at relatively low temperatures (under 700ºC) and limited supply of oxygen in a process called pyrolysis. The conversion of biomass into BC can not only result in renewable energy source of synthetic gas and bio-oil, but also decrease the content of CO2 in the atmosphere, as well as improving soil fertility. Because of its porous structure, charged surface and surface functional groups, BC exhibits a great potential as an adsorbent. Brazilian agro energy chain involves tons of biomass waste, providing a wide range of biomasses with different chemical and physical properties. BC characteristics strongly depend on the feedstock and the pyrolysis conditions, in which the temperature is the key parameter. The aim of this study was to evaluate the adsorption potential for the removal of uranium, U(VI), from aqueous solutions using BC obtained through the pyrolysis of the macauba (Acrocomia aculeata) coconut endocarp as a function of the final pyrolytic temperature. BCs produced at higher temperatures are likely to present lower H/C and O/C ratios, indicating the loss of easily degradable carbon compounds such as volatile matter. In contrast, low-temperature pyrolysis produces not only a higher BC yield, but also richer in surface functional groups which will likely enable interactions with the U(VI) ions. The endocarp was subjected to six different pyrolytic temperatures, ranging from 250 ºC to 750 ºC. The influence of parameters such as pH, sorbent dose and initial concentration on the adsorption of U(VI) was investigated. The maximum adsorption capacity (q) was achieved for the BC obtained at 250°C (BC250), which presented a removal percentage of approx. 86%, demonstrating the potential of the BC from macauba endocarp for treatment of wastewaters. Thus, submitting the endocarp to temperatures higher than 250°C becomes unnecessary, saving time and reducing operating costs.
