Enhanced removal of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene by modified biochar supported nanoscale zero-valent iron and palladium.

Abstract:

:Biochar pyrolysed at 300 °C, 500 °C, 700 °C was modified by hydrochloric acid (HCl), hydrofluoric acid (HF), sodium hydroxide (NaOH), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), nitric acid (HNO3) and potassium permanganate (KMnO4), and subsequently evaluated for removal efficiency of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (1,2,4-TCB) by biochar supported nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) and palladium (Pd) composites. Under the initial 1,2,4-TCB concentration of 10 mg L-1 and the solid-liquid ratio of 0.16 g L-1, the synthesized composites of nZVI-Pd with BC700 modified by HF (FBC700-nZVI-Pd) and nZVI-Pd with BC300 modified by NaOH (SBC300-nZVI-Pd) demonstrated significantly enhanced removal efficiencies for 1,2,4-TCB achieving 98.8% and 94.7% after 48 h, respectively. The physicochemical properties of biochar including specific surface area, aromaticity and hydrophobicity after the modification by HF and NaOH were improved. Increased the supporting sites for Fe/Pd nanoparticles and the contact between composites and 1,2,4-TCB were mainly responsible for enhanced removal efficiency for 1,2,4-TCB. Both the adsorption by biochar and reduction by Fe/Pd nanoparticles effectively contributed to the removal of 1,2,4-TCB. It is estimated that the proportion of reduction was about twice that of adsorption in the first 12 h, which produced 1,2-DCB, benzene and other degradation products. Therefore, biochar treated with HF and NaOH and supported Fe/Pd nanoparticles could be effective functional materials for remediation of groundwater contaminated by 1,2,4-TCB.
