Effect of pickling on pyrolysis characteristics and adsorption properties of biomass

In order to explore the influence of pickling on the pyrolysis characteristics and adsorption performance of biomass, this paper used pickled rice husk as raw material, and used TG-FTIR coupling instrument to explore the pyrolysis characteristics and product changes of rice husk; The Coats-Redfern (C-R) method was used to analyze the pyrolysis kinetics, and the adsorption performance of pyrolysis biochar on heavy metal Cu was investigated. The results show that pickling can effectively reduce AAEMs, change the pyrolysis path, increase the release of volatiles, and increase the calorific value of raw materials by about 17.10%. The surface of rice husk retains abundant functional groups, and the vibration of characteristic peaks is more intense. The C-R kinetic analysis showed that the pyrolysis process was consistent with the reaction order n = 1, and the influence on the activation energy of rice husk was sulfuric acid > phosphoric acid > nitric acid. The pickling pyrolysis biochar can promote the adsorption of heavy metal Cu2+ in the aqueous phase, the adsorption capacity is up to 41.4 mg<middle dot>g(-1), and the adsorption efficiency is up to 82.8%.
