- Biochars produced from various materials at different temperatures were characterized.
- Microcystin-LR sorption ability varied as a function of biochar structural properties.
- At the same production temperature chicken manure biochars showed the best sorption.
- High ash content might be important for enhancing microcystin-LR sorption by biochars.
- Chicken manure biochars were the most efficient sorbents to remove microcystin-LR.
Diverse biochars produced from various feedstock sources (i.e., plant- and animal-wastes) at different pyrolysis temperatures (PTs) were characterized for their structural properties and sorption behaviors of aqueous microcystin-LR (MC-LR). Results indicated that MC-LR sorption capability of tested biochars varied as a function of biochar structural properties. Sorption mechanisms involved electrostatic attraction, pore-filling, hydrogen-bonding effect and Ï-Ï electron donor-acceptor interaction, but predominant mechanisms varied for different biochars. At the same PT (300 or 600 °C), chicken manure-derived biochars (CMBs) exhibited stronger MC-LR sorption than others, with sorption coefficient (Kd) of 6.321-15.529 L gâ1 and 6.354-8.294 L gâ1 at aqueous equilibrium concentration (Ce) of 40 and 200 μg Lâ1, respectively. Higher mesoporosity, the point of zero charge and total surface groups concentration related to higher ash content of CMBs, which might be indispensable for enhancing MC-LR sorption. This study suggested that CMBs have great potential as low-cost sustainable sorbents to abate MC-LR contamination.
