Abstract

In order to improve water quality of the water system contaminated with dyes, biochars prepared using discarded waste resources were applied in this study. Biochars with a large specific surface area were manufactured using street tree pruning products or waste wood, and were applied to remove an organic dye in synthetic water. Biochars were made by pyrolysis of typical street tree porch products (Platanas, Ginkgo, Aak) and waste wood under air-controlled conditions. Methylene blue (MB), which is widely used in phosphofibers, paper, leather, and cotton media, was selected in this study. The adsorption capacity of Platanas for MB was the highest and the qmax value obtained using the Langmuir model equation was 78.47 mg/g. In addition, the adsorption energy (E) (kJ/mol) of MB using the Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) model equation was 4.891 kJ/mol which was less than 8 kJ/mol (a criteria distinguishing physical adsorption from chemical adsorption). This result suggests a physical adsorption with weak interactions such as van der Waals force between the biochar and MB. In addition, the physical adsorption may resulted from that Platanas-based biohar has the largest specific surface area and pore volume. The ∆G value obtained through the adsorption experiment according to temperature variation was -3.67 to -7.68, which also suggests a physical adsorption. Considering these adsorption results, the adsorption of MB onto Platanas-based biochar seems to occur through physical adsorption. Overall, it was possible to suggest that adsorption capacity of the biochr prepared from this study was equal to or greater than that of commercial activated carbon reported in other studies.

수계에 오염된 색도 물질을 더욱 효율적으로 처리하고자 버려지는 폐자원을 이용하여 흡착제인 바이오차를 제조하고 적용하는 방안을 모색하고자 하였다. 이에 가로수 전정부산물이나 폐목재를 활용하여 넓은 비표면적을 가지고 있는 바이오차를 제조하고 이를 이용하여 색도물질 제거에 적용하였다. 대표적인 가로수 전정부산물(플라타너스, 은행나무, 참나무)과 폐목재를 산소가 없는 조건에서 열분해하여 바이오차를 제조하였으며, 제거대상 물질로는 방향족 고리를 가지고 있어서 생물학적 분해가 어렵고, 물리적 처리와 화학적 처리시 제거효율이 떨어지는 것으로 알려져 있는 녹청색의 유기염료로 주로 인피섬유에 사용되며, 종이, 가죽과 면의 매염에 사용되기도 하는 메틸렌블루(MB)를 선정하였다. 실험결과 플라타너스 기반 바이오차가 제일 높은 흡착능을 보였으며, Langmuir 모델식을 이용하여 구한 qmax 값은 78.47 mg/g으로 나타났다. 또한 물리적 흡착과 화학적 흡착을 구별하는데 사용되는 Dubinin-Radushkevich(D-R) 모델식을 이용하여 흡착에너지(E) (kJ/mol)를 구한 결과 MB에 대한 흡착에너지(E) 값은 4.891 kJ/mol로 8 kJ/mol(물리흡착과 화학흡착의 기준 값) 보다 작았으며, 이는 바이오차와 MB 염료 사이에 van der Waals와 같은 약한 결합이 존재하는 물리흡착임을 알 수 있었다. 반응온도 변화에 따른 흡착실험을 통해 얻은 ∆G의 값은 -3.67~7.68 kJ/mol으로서 물리적 흡착반응 영역에 해당함을 확인하여, 본 연구에서 제조된 플라타너스 기반 바이오차의 MB 흡착메커니즘은 넓은 비표면적을 이용한 물리적 흡착임을 제시할 수 있었다. 또한 타 연구에서 제시된 상업용 활성탄과 비교하여도 동등 이상의 흡착능력을 보였다.
