Granular Biochar Compared With Activated Carbon For Wastewater Treatment And Resource Recovery, Tyler M. Huggins, Alexander Haeger, Justin C. Biffinger, Zhiyong Jason Ren
U.S. Navy Research
Granular wood-derived biochar (BC) was compared to granular activated carbon (GAC) for the treatment and nutrient recovery of real wastewater in both batch and column studies. Batch adsorption studies showed that BC material had a greater adsorption capacity at the high initial concentrations of total chemical oxygen demand (COD-T) (1200 mg L-1), PO4 (18 mg L-1), and NH4 (50 mg L-1) compared to GAC. Conversely the BC material showed a lower adsorption capacity for all concentrations of dissolved chemical oxygen demand (COD-D) and the lower concentrations of PO …
