Abstract
- Soil composition varies considerably in nature, so it is vital to investigate the mechanism of the effect of various soil parameters on biochar sorption capacity. In this study, two biochars (W4 and W7) were derived from wheat straw at temperatures of 400 and 700 °C and were incubated with three different soils. Changes in biochar surface features by aging in the soils and the consequent impact on phenanthrene sorption were examined. The results showed that the effect of adding biochar on phenanthrene sorption capacity (K <subscript>oc</subscript> ) varied by soil. When biochar was freshly mixed with soil, the K <subscript>oc</subscript> value in soil with higher clay content was more dramatically altered by biochar, which is due to clay particles adhering to the biochar surface. Moreover, the K <subscript>oc</subscript> value was significantly decreased by the addition of W4 but increased by the addition of W7 in general. After aging, most of the K <subscript>oc</subscript> value decreased. The greatest decrease in K <subscript>oc</subscript> value was observed in biochar and soil composed with the highest clay content for W4 (24-63%), as well as soil composed with the highest organic matter content for W7 (46-64%). This is because the surface polarity and micropores of biochar dropped the most rapidly in these mixes, resulting in a significant decrease in hydrophobic and pore-filling properties. The results revealed that the impact of biochar-soil interactions on phenanthrene sorption is related to not only biochar properties but also soil clay particles, soil organic matter content and pH. The findings of the study can be utilized to assess the efficacy of biochar application in soil remediation for various features.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Ltd.
