Abstract:
      In this study, we investigated the adsorption kinetics and isotherms of a model solute(2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic, or 2, 4-D) by biochars prepared from three feedstocks(corn stover, poplar leaves and sewage sludge) at 400℃. At the same pyrolysis temperature, sewage sludge biochar had significant low C content in comparison with those derived from plant materials, but their O/C, H/C and(H+O)/C radio had similar trends. The properties of feedstocks greatly influenced the adsorption characteristics of biochars. The mechanisms of 2, 4-D adsorption by sewage sludge biochar were obviously different from those of the other two biochars. The selection of adsorbents must be caseby-case based on the characteristics of biochar feedstocks. This study provides us a potential way to use relatively more suitable biochar in reducing the leaching of organochlorine pesticides.
