Abstract
In this work, the properties of biochar produced from green macroalga Ulva intestinalis by pyrolysis were studied at temperatures of 300, 500, and 700 °C. This biochar was characterized in terms of multielemental composition, BET surface area, total pore volume, and biosorption properties toward phosphate ions. Biochar produced at 700 °C–25 m2/g had the highest surface area. The kinetics and isotherms of sorption processes of phosphate ions as sorbate by these sorbents were investigated. Modified biochar was able to remove 84.3% of phosphate ions from wastewater, whereas non-modified biochar—only 40.6%. Hence, biochar enriched with phosphate ions can serve as a valuable soil amendment. Pot experiments performed on winter wheat (Triticum aestivum) with a 3% addition of dry Ulva intestinalis, pristine biochar, and Mg-modified biochar enriched with phosphate ions showed that these amendments stimulated plant growth (length and fresh weight of plants) as well as enlarging the chlorophyll content in leaves. Our results indicate that the production of biochar (pristine and Mg-impregnated) is a sustainable option to valorize the biomass of seaweeds, and to recycle phosphorus from wastewater.
期刊介绍:
Bioresources and Bioprocessing (BIOB) is a peer-reviewed open access journal published under the brand SpringerOpen. BIOB aims at providing an international academic platform for exchanging views on and promoting research to support bioresource development, processing and utilization in a sustainable manner. As an application-oriented research journal, BIOB covers not only the application and management of bioresource technology but also the design and development of bioprocesses that will lead to new and sustainable production processes. BIOB publishes original and review articles on most topics relating to bioresource and bioprocess engineering, including: -Biochemical and microbiological engineering -Biocatalysis and biotransformation -Biosynthesis and metabolic engineering -Bioprocess and biosystems engineering -Bioenergy and biorefinery -Cell culture and biomedical engineering -Food, agricultural and marine biotechnology -Bioseparation and biopurification engineering -Bioremediation and environmental biotechnology
