With the acceleration of global industrialization, organic pollutants have become a threat to ecological safety and human health. This work prepared TiO/rice husk biochar (TiO/BC) for removal of bisphenol A (BA) micropollutant in wastewater. Experiment results revealed a low BA removal efficiency by TiO/BC was observed at 34.5% under the dark environment. However, the removal rate of BA by UV light-assisted TiO/BC significantly increased to 97.6% in 1 h. The results also demonstrated that the removal performance of BA using TiO/BC was 2.1times higher than that of commercial TiO (46.4%). Besides, the removal efficiency of BA by reused TiO/BC after eight cycles slightly decreased by 12.8%, demonstrating the excellent properties of the prepared composite. TiO/BC also exhibited high removal efficiency of BA (over 89%) from the synthetic wastewater sample, indicating the potential utilization of composite for removing BA in wastewater. This work provides a new way to turn biomass waste into useful material and effective method to remove micropollutant BA.
随着全球工业化进程的加速，有机污染物已对生态安全和人类健康构成威胁。本研究制备了TiO/稻壳生物炭（TiO/BC）用于去除废水中的双酚A（BA）微污染物。实验结果表明，在黑暗环境下，TiO/BC对BA的去除效率较低，为34.5%。然而，紫外光辅助的TiO/BC对BA的去除率在1小时内显著提高到97.6%。结果还表明，使用TiO/BC去除BA的性能比商用TiO（46.4%）高2.1倍。此外，经过八次循环后重复使用的TiO/BC对BA的去除效率略有下降，为12.8%，这表明所制备的复合材料具有优异的性能。TiO/BC对合成废水样品中的BA也表现出较高的去除效率（超过89%），表明该复合材料在去除废水中BA方面具有潜在的应用价值。这项工作为将生物质废物转化为有用材料提供了一种新途径，也为去除微污染物BA提供了有效方法。
