PG - 111919 LID - S0013-9351(21)01214-7 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.envres.2021.111919 [doi] AB - In this study, we investigated a highly efficient adsorbent that can be recycled from the soil. Walnut shells were used as raw materials to prepare original ecological biochar (OBC), illite modified biochar (IBC), FeCl(3) modified biochar (magnetic biochar; MBC), and illite and FeCl(3) modified biochar (IMBC), which were tested as low-cost adsorbents. The agents were used to remove metolachlor (MET) from soil. Scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, magnetic sensitivity curve analysis, and a series of adsorption experiments were conducted to study the interaction between illite and MBC, and the effect on MET adsorption. Compared with OBC, IMBC had more adsorption sites on the surface. IMBC improved the hole filling effect during the adsorption process. IMBC had more oxygen-containing functional groups and it performed better at removing organic matter through pi-pi interactions. According to the Langmuir model, the Q(0) values for IBC, MBC, and IMBC were 91.74 mg g(-1), 107.53 mg g(-1), and 129.87 mg g(-1), respectively, which were significantly higher than that for OBC (72.99 mg g(-1)). The response surface model was used to explore the optimal adsorption conditions for IMBC. After three regeneration cycles, the MET adsorption rate with IMBC was still 81.38% and the MET recovery rate was 98.12%. Therefore, IMBC was characterized as an adsorbent with high efficiency, low cost, and good recyclability. In addition, we propose a suitable agricultural system for recovering MBC on site in the field. CI - Copyright (c) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
