Abstract:

The biochar was produced by pyrolyse process under 450 ℃ using soybean stem waste materials. The elemental analyzer,electron microscope scanning (SEM),transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR),x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were applied to analyze the physical and chemical characteristics of biochar. The effects of four factors (initial pH, doge of adsorbent, concentration of atrazine and temperature) on the removal efficiency of atrazine were investigated using central composite design (CCD) under response surface methodology (RSM). Creating a 2-order equation, and then the ANOVA was employed to verify the validity of the quadratic model. The results showed that the surface of biochar was full of pore structures and C=C、C-C、CHx、-C-OR、-COOR functional groups. A new adsorption peak appeared on the -OH position after adsorption of atrazine by biochar. So we speculated that the hydroxyl groups played an important role in the process of adsorption. The optimum adsorption removal (92.18%) by RSM obtained at pH=6.67, the doge of adsorbent 7.75 g/L, initial atrazine concentration 5 mg/L, T=35 ℃. The research will provide references for the migration regularity of atrazine in biochar-applied soil and the remediation of atrazine polluted water.

Key words: biochar, response surface methodology, adsorption removal, atrazine
