Abstract
BACKGROUND: Objective of this study was to investigate adsorption characteristics of $NH_4-N$ to biochar produced from rice hull in respective to mitigation of greenhouse gases. METHODS AND RESULTS: $NH_4-N$ concentration was analyzed by UV spectrophotometer. For adsorption experiment of $NH_4-N$ to biochar, input amount of biochar was varied from 0.4 to 10 g/L with 30 mg/L $NH_4-N$ solution. Its adsorption characteristic was investigated with application of Langmuir isotherm. Adsorption amount and removal rates of $NH_4-N$ were decreased at 53.9% and increased at 20.2% with 10 g/L compared to 0.4 g/L, respectively. The sorption of $NH_4-N$ to biochar produced from rice hull was fitted well by a Langmuir model. The largest adsorption amount of $NH_4-N$ ($q_m$) and binding strength constant (b) were calculated as 0.4980 mg/g, and 0.0249 L/mg, respectively. It was observed that dimensionless constant ($R_L$) was 0.58. CONCLUSION: It was indicated that biochar produced from rice hull is favorably absorbed $NH_4-N$, because this value lie within 0< $R_L$ <1.
