Adsorption Characteristics and Mechanism of Ammonia Nitrogen in Water by Nano Zero-valent Iron-modified Biochar

The adsorption performances of ammonia nitrogen (NH+4-N) in water by unmodified biochar are ineffective. In this study, nano zero-valent iron-modified biochar (nZVIBC) was prepared to remove NH+4-N from water. The NH+4-N adsorption characteristics of nZVI@BC were investigated through adsorption batch experiments. The composition and structure characteristics of nZVI@BC were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy, energy spectrum analysis, BET-N2 surface area (SSA), X-ray diffraction, and FTIR spectra to explore the main adsorption mechanism of NH+4-N by nZVI@BC. The results showed that the composite synthesized at the iron to biochar mass ratio of 1:30 (nZVI@BC1/30) performed well in NH+4-N adsorption at 298 K. The maximum adsorption amount of nZVI@BC1/30 at 298 K was remarkably increased by 45.96% and reached 16.60 mg·g-1. The pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir model fitted well with the adsorption process of NH+4-N by nZVI@BC1/30. There was competitive adsorption between coexisting cations and NH+4-N, and the sequence of coexisting cations to the adsorption of NH+4-N by nZVI@BC1/30 was Ca2+> Mg2+> K+> Na+. The adsorption mechanism of NH+4-N by nZVI@BC1/30 could be mainly attributed to ion exchange and hydrogen bonding. In conclusion, nano zero-valent iron-modified biochar can improve the adsorption performance of NH+4-N and enhance the application potential of biochar in the field of nitrogen removal from water.
