LID - 10.1007/s11356-024-31990-2 [doi] AB - To investigate the correlation between the physicochemical properties of biochar and its adsorption performance for 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), Populus nigra was subjected to oxygen-limited pyrolysis at temperatures ranging from 300 to 600 ℃. The experimental results showed that as the pyrolysis temperature increased, the specific surface area and degree of graphitization of the resultant biochar increased, but the amount of oxygen-containing functional groups decreased. Populus nigra biochar produced at 450 ℃ exhibits the best adsorption performance for 2,4-DCP due to its excellent physicochemical properties and greater electron exchange capability. The removal of 2,4-DCP is a multi-step adsorption process dominated by chemisorption, which involved oxygen-containing functional groups-mediated hydrogen bonding, as well as pi-pi electron donor-acceptor (EDA) interaction between the aromatic rings and Cl atoms. The study highlights the potential of Populus nigra residues for producing biochar as an affordable and effective adsorbent for 2,4-DCP removal. CI - (c) 2024.
