Biochars derived from three microalgal strains (namely, Chlorella sp. Cha-01, Chlamydomonas sp. Tai-03 and Coelastrum sp. Pte-15) were evaluated for their capacity to adsorb p-nitrophenols (PNP) using raw microalgal biomass and powdered activated carbon (PAC) as the control. The results show that BC-Cha-01 (biochar from Chlorella sp. Cha-01) exhibited a high PNP adsorption capacity of 204.8mgg, which is 250% and 140% higher than that of its raw biomass and PAC, respectively. The adsorption kinetics and equilibrium are well described with pseudo-second-order equation and Freundlich model, respectively. BC-Cha-01 was found to contain higher polarity moieties with more O-containing functional groups than PAC and other microalgae-derived biochars. The strong polarity of binding sites on BC-Cha-01 may be responsible for its superior adsorption capacity. The biochars from Chlorella sp. Cha-01 seem to have the potential to serve as a highly efficient PNP adsorbent for wastewater treatment or emergency water pollution control.
三种微藻（即绿球藻 Cha-01 株、衣藻 Tai-03 株和栅藻 Pte-15 株）制备的生物炭被用来吸附 p-硝基苯酚（PNP），以原微藻生物质和粉末状活性炭（PAC）作为对照。结果表明，BC-Cha-01（绿球藻 Cha-01 制备的生物炭）对 PNP 的吸附容量高达 204.8mg/g，分别比原生物质和 PAC 高 250%和 140%。吸附动力学和平衡分别很好地用拟二级方程和 Freundlich 模型描述。BC-Cha-01 含有比 PAC 和其他微藻生物炭更高比例的极性基团和更多含氧官能团。BC-Cha-01 上结合位点的强极性可能是其具有优越吸附能力的原因。绿球藻 Cha-01 制备的生物炭似乎有可能成为一种高效的 PNP 吸附剂，用于废水处理或紧急水污染控制。
