The present study reports alfalfa (one of most abundant hays in U.S)-derived biochar for effective removal of emerging contaminants in water for the first time. The physicochemical properties of alfalf-aderived biochar (AF-BC) made at various pyrolysis temperatures were investigated, and correlated with the adsorption of bisphenol A (BPA) and sulfamethoxazole (SMX) in water. The increase in pyrolysis temperatures from 350 degrees C to 650 degrees C for the pyrolysis of AF led to a drastic increase in surface area and carbonization with the loss of functional groups. The AF-derived biochar made at 650 degrees C showed much higher adsorption capacities for BPA and SMX than those made at 350-550 degrees C, mainly owing to the hydrophobic and pi-pi interactions supported by its high surface area and degree of carbonization. The adsorption isotherms fitted the Freundlich for BPA and Temkin models for SMX well, respectively. The adsorption capacities of AF 650 for BPA and SMX were higher than those of other biochars but lower than those of commercial activated carbon. The pH-dependent desorption for AF 650 showed high efficiency for SMX, but low efficiency for BPA indicating needs for alternative regeneration methods for BPA. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd.
