摘要
Sludge from a groundwater treatment plant was used to prepare biochar by pyrolysis. The Fe-Mn rich biochar was used to activate percarbonate for the remediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) contaminated aquatic sediments. Results showed that the sludge-derived biochar (SBC) produced at a pyrolysis temperature of 700 degrees C was the most effective in activating percarbonate, which exhibited significant oxidative removal of PAHs. PAHs degradation took place via a Fenton-like oxidation manners, contributed from the Fe3+/Fe2+ and Mn3+/Mn2+ redox pairs, and achieved the highest degradation efficiency of 87% at pHo 6.0. Reactions between oxygenated functional groups of biochar and H2O2 generated of O-2(center dot-) and HO center dot radicals in abundance under neutral and alkaline pH was responsible for the catalytic degradation of PAHs. Our results provided new insights into the environmental applications of SBC for the green sustainable remediation of organics-contaminated sediments and aided in reduction of associated environmental and health risk.
