- Abstract
- This study is a comparison of the effect of biochar produced by bioenergy systems, via the pyrolysis and gasification processes, on the immobilization ofmetals/metalloids in soil. Because the processes for these two techniques vary, the feedstocks undergo different heating regimens and, as a result, their respective char products exhibit different physico-chemical properties. Therefore, this study focuses on (1) the characterization of derivative biochar fromthe bioenergy systemto understand their features and (2) an exploration of various biochar impacts on themobility of As and Pb in contaminated soil. The results showed bioenergy biochars (BBCs) performed well in mitigating Pb extractability (1 M ammoniumacetate) with a Pb immobilization >80%, but unfavorably mobilized the bioavailable As, likely because of electrostatic repulsion and ion exchange competition. The BBC surface functional group would chemically bond with the As and remain stable against the pH change. An increment in aromatic carbonwould effectively enhance cation-p interaction for Pb immobilization. Nevertheless, anamendment with richer condensed structure and higher inorganic minerals (Ca2+, K+, Mg2+, and Na+) can lead to better performance in retaining Pb. (c) 2018 Published by Elsevier B. V.
