Abstract

In this study, biochar was produced from biomass waste, and its methylene blue adsorption capacity was evaluated. The major components of the biomass were cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Ash content was high in waste wood. Carbonization yield decreased as carbonization temperature increased, as did hydrogen and oxygen content, but carbon content increased. Increased carbonization temperature also increased the specific surface area and micropores of biochar. At 600 ℃, biochar had the highest specific surface area (216.15~301.80 m2 /g). As a result of methylene blue adsorption on biochar carbonized at 600 ℃, oak, waste wood, and pruned apple tree branches fit the Freundlich model, while pruned peach tree branches fit the Langmuir model. In the adsorption kinetics of methylene blue on biochar, oak and pruned peach tree branches fit a pseudo-first-order model, while waste wood and pruned apple tree branches fit a pseudo-second-order model.

본 논문에서는 미이용 바이오매스로부터 바이오차를 생산하고 메틸렌블루 흡착 특성을 평가하였다. 바이오매스는 주로 셀룰로오스, 헤미셀룰로오스, 리그닌으로 구성되어 있으며 회분의 함량은 벌채부산물에서 가장 높았다. 탄화 온도가 증가할수록 탄화 수율은 감소하였으며, 수소와 산소 함량도 감소하였다. 반면, 탄소 함량은 증가하였다. 탄화 온도가 증가할수록 바이오차의 비표면적과 미세기공은 증가하였다. 바이오차 비표면적은 탄화 온도 600 ℃에서 가장 높았다(216.15~301.80 m2 /g). 600 ℃에서 탄화한 바이오차를 이용하여 메틸렌블루 흡착 실험을 수행한 결과, 참나무, 벌채부산물, 사과 전정가지의 흡착 거동은 Freundlich model, 복숭아 전정가지는 Langmuir model에 적합하였다. 흡착 동역학에서 참나무와 복숭아 전정가지는 pseudo-first-order model, 벌채부산물과 사과 전정가지는 pseudo-second-order model에 적합하였다.
