Fenton-Based Processes For The Regeneration of Biochar From: Syagrus Coronata Biomass Used As Dye Adsorbent

The document discusses using a Fenton-based process to regenerate biochar made from Syagrus coronata biomass that was used to adsorb dye. The biochar effectively removed methylene blue from water. Fenton regeneration was tested with different concentrations of reagents and achieved a maximum recovery of 19.31% adsorption capacity. The biochar and Fenton process show potential for dye removal and regeneration.

abstract
The present work aims to evaluate the application of Fenton reaction as a method for the
adsorbent regeneration. The adsorbent was obtained by the thermal decomposition of Syagrus
coronata endocarp under vacuum at relatively low temperatures (i.e., 400°C and 800°C). The
biochar capacity of methylene blue removal was evaluated in function of time of contact, particle
diameter and pyrolysis temperature. The biochar was characterized by X-ray diffraction and ther-
mogravimetric analysis techniques. The highest adsorption capacity was 99.4%, obtained for 4.8 g
of adsorbent, pyrolysis at 800°C and particle diameter <0.149 mm. The data obtained from the
kinetic studies fitted better to the pseudo-second-order model, while the adsorption isotherms fol-
lowed Sips model. Fenton regeneration was conducted using a dye saturated biochar with Fenton
reagents at different concentrations of Fe2+ (0.5–1.0 mmol L–1) and H2O2 (100–2,400 mmol L–1) in
pH = 3.0 for 30 min. A maximum recovery of 19.31% of the adsorption capacity was obtained
using Fenton with Fe2+ 1.0 mmol L1 and H2O2 600 mmol L–1. Therefore, results showed that the
biochar of Syagrus coronata endocarp was effective to remove methylene blue from water solution
and Fenton reaction is a viable alternative of regeneration process of adsorbent agents.
