This study investigated the speciation, bioavailability, and environmental risk of heavy metals in chicken manure and water-washed swine manure biochars produced at different pyrolysis temperatures. The results showed that higher pyrolysis temperatures led to decreased toxicity characteristics and environmental risks of heavy metals. Pyrolysis at 800 degrees Celsius proved to be an effective way to reduce the initial and underlying heavy metal toxicity of biochars to the environment.
This study was conducted to investigate the speciation, bioavailability and environmental risk of heavy metals (HMs) in chicken manure (CM) and water-washed swine manure (WSM) and their biochars produced at different pyrolysis temperatures (200 to 800 degrees C). As the pyrolysis temperature increased, the remaining proportion, toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP), HCl and diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA) of HMs gradually declined. This result proved that the speciation of HMs in chicken manure biochars (CMB) and water-washed swine manure biochars (WSMB) was influenced by pyrolysis temperature. The proportions of stable fractions were enhanced with increased pyrolysis temperature and weakened the HM validity for vegetation at 800 degrees C. Finally, the results of the risk assessment showed that the environmental risk of HMs in CMB and WSMB decreased with increasing pyrolysis temperature. Therefore, pyrolysis at 800 degrees C can provide a practical approach to lessen the initial and underlying heavy metal toxicity of CMB and WSMB to the environment.
