논문 초록 (Abstract)
In this study, we developed an innovative spherical biochar with high porosity and excellent paracetamol (PRC) adsorption capacity. The optimal pyrolysis temperatures for the preparation of spherical biochar (derived from pure glucose) and non-spherical biochar (from pomelo peel wastes) were obtained at 900 degrees C and 700 degrees C, respectively. Various advanced techniques were applied to characterize the prepared biochars. Spherical and non-spherical biochars exhibited large specific surface area (1292 and 1033 m(2)/g) and high total pore volume (0.704 and 1.074 cm(3)/g), respectively. The adsorption behavior of PRC onto two biochars was conducted utilizing batch experiments. Results demonstrated that the adsorption process was slightly affected by the change of solution pH (2-11) and addition of NaCl (0.05-1.0 M) and was able to achieve fast equilibrium (similar to 120 min). The maximum adsorption capacity of spherical biochar (286 mg/g) for PRC was approximately double that of non-spherical biochar (147 mg/g). The signal of thermodynamic parameters was negative Delta G degrees and Delta H degrees values, but positive Delta S degrees value. The adsorption mechanism consisted of pore-filling, hydrogen bonding formations, n-pi and pi-pi interactions, and van der Waals force. The adsorption capacities of two biochars were insignificantly dependent on different real water samples containing PRC. Consequently, the biochars can serve as a green and promising material for efficiently removing PRC from water.
