This study used ramie biochar (RBC) to activate nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) for enhanced removal of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)). The RBC-nZVI composite showed significantly higher efficiency in Cr(VI) removal compared to RBC or nZVI alone, due to a synergistic effect between RBC600 and nZVI on the reduction reaction of Cr(VI) and increased adsorption sites. This research provides a new approach for utilizing ramie waste and effectively addresses the limitations of nZVI for efficient and rapid Cr(VI) remediation.
In this study, ramie biochar (RBC) was used to activate nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) to enhance hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) removal. The best results were obtained at a pyrolysis temperature of 600 & DEG;C, a biochar particle size of < 150 mu m, and an iron to carbon ratio = 1:1. Under the optimal conditions, the removal of Cr(VI) by RBC600-nZVI (98.69%) was much greater than that of RBC600 (12.42%) and nZVI (58.26%). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed that the reaction mechanism at the Fe and Cr interface was a multiple interaction mechanism with reduction dominated, adsorption, and co-precipitation simultaneously. The enhanced performance of RBC600-nZVI resulted from the effective dispersion of nZVI on the surface of RBC600, therefore increasing the adsorption activity sites. At the same time, RBC600 and nZVI exerted a synergistic influence on the composite structure, which jointly promoted the reduction reaction of Cr(VI) and removed more Cr(VI). This study shows that RBC-nZVI is a potentially valuable remediation material that not only provides a new idea for the utilization of ramie waste, but also effectively overcomes the limitations of nZVI, thus, achieving efficient and rapid remediation of Cr(VI).
