Production of magnetic biochar from waste-derived fungal biomass for phosphorus removal and recovery
Abstract
This study presents a new bottom-up biofabrication method to produce highly porous magnetic biochar from waste-derived fungal biomass. Neurospora crassa was grown in iron containing coagulation backwash (BW) diluted with primary effluent (PE) wastewater in two ratios of 1:4 (PE-BW 1:4) and 3:4 (PE-BW 3:4). The fungi encapsulated iron directly into biomass hyphae and carbonization resulted in one-step biochar preparation and maghemite (Fe2O3) formation. The morphology and structure of the materials were investigated using a suite of characterization tools. Results indicated that the physiochemical properties of each char were dependent on the blend used for fungal cultivation. PE-BW 1:4 had much larger average pore diameters (13.2 nm vs. 6.1 nm), less elemental surface carbon (2.1% vs. 23.7%), and more expansive Fe2O3 formation. Batch phosphorus adsorption experiments were conducted in the range of 0-90 mg-P/L, and a maximum adsorption density of 23.9 mg/g was achieved. Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherms were used to describe the interactions of the phosphate on the absorbents and an in-depth error analysis was conducted. Further characterization of the P-loaded chars indicated adsorption primarily via P-OH bonding on the surface of the materials. This new biofabrication method showed great potential to magnetic biochar production with excellent phosphorusmore »
