Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the application of a type of hippocampal biochar. Background Technology
[0002] Sea purslane (Sesuvium portulacastrum) is a succulent herbaceous plant that grows along the coast and is also a companion species of mangroves. It exhibits strong tolerance to salinity, drought, and heavy metals, and can be widely used for sand fixation, dike protection, soil and water conservation, and bioremediation of coastal wetlands. It is classified as belonging to the phylum Equisetum, class Magnoliopsida, order Caryophyllales, family Aizoaceae, and genus Sesuvium. Due to its exceptional vitality, it can continuously spread to form ground cover, making it an excellent plant for windbreak and sand fixation, and for protecting riverbanks. It is also frequently planted on fishpond embankments, protecting the banks and providing shade for fish; its decaying leaves can also be consumed by fish. Sea purslane is also a valuable nesting material for some birds.
[0003] Because sea purslane is a perennial herbaceous plant, and because it is tolerant of high salinity and high temperatures, reproduces rapidly, is easy to cultivate, has controllable propagation, and has a strong ability to absorb elements such as C, N, and P, it has become an ideal plant for the restoration of marine environments and is widely used in artificial wetlands, ecological floating beds, and other marine environmental and aquaculture wastewater remediation projects. However, how to dispose of sea purslane after it has reproduced in large quantities has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide applications of dentata biochar.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is: to provide the application of seahorse biochar in the removal of ammonia nitrogen from seawater.
[0006] Another technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is: to provide the application of seahorse biochar in adsorbing ammonia nitrogen in seawater.
[0007] Furthermore, the preparation method of the aforementioned seahorse dentata biochar includes the following steps: the dried seahorse dentata stem is initially heated to room temperature, then heated to 180℃~220℃ at a heating rate of 3℃ / min~7℃ / min, held for 25min~35min, then heated to 650℃~750℃ at a heating rate of 3℃ / min~7℃ / min, held for 100min~140min under a nitrogen atmosphere, and finally cooled to below 100℃ at a cooling rate of 3℃ / min~7℃ / min to obtain the seahorse dentata biochar.
[0008] Furthermore, the preparation of dried seahorse tusk stems includes: removing the leaves from the harvested seahorse tusks, leaving only the stems, drying the stems, soaking the dried seahorse tusks in pure water, and then drying them for later use.
[0009] Furthermore, the stem is cut into sections of about 1-5 cm in length using scissors and then dried.
[0010] Furthermore, the process involves repeated soaking and drying in pure water 3 to 5 times, with each soaking lasting 24 to 72 hours.
[0011] Furthermore, the drying temperature is 30℃~70℃.
[0012] Unless otherwise specified, the equipment, reagents, processes, parameters, etc. involved in this invention are all conventional equipment, reagents, processes, parameters, etc., and no further examples will be provided.
[0013] All ranges listed in this invention include all point values within that range.
[0014] In this invention, "normal temperature" refers to the conventional ambient temperature, which can be 10 to 30°C.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, this technical solution has the following advantages:
[0016] 1. Due to the salt effect, ammonia nitrogen in seawater is more difficult to remove than ammonia nitrogen in freshwater. This invention unexpectedly discovered that biochar made from seahorse dentata has a good removal effect on ammonia nitrogen in seawater.
[0017] 2. The seahorse biochar prepared by the optimal preparation method of the present invention has a maximum ammonia nitrogen removal rate of 59.9% in seawater. Attached Figure Description

[0062] Carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus adsorption experiment of seahorse dentata
[0063] Calculation method
[0064] (1) Removal rate
[0065] The formula for calculating the removal rate is as follows.
[0066]
[0067] In the formula: R1 — removal rate (%)
[0068] C0 — Initial concentration (mg / L)
[0069] Ct — Concentration (mg / L) after t hours
[0070] (2) Adsorption capacity
[0071] The formula for calculating the adsorption capacity is as follows.
[0072]
[0073] In the formula: q — adsorption capacity (mg / g);
[0074] V—sample volume (L);
[0075] C0—Initial concentration (mg / L);
[0076] Ct — Concentration (mg / L) after adsorption for t hours;
[0077] m — Material usage (g)
[0078] Ammonia nitrogen adsorption experiments using seahorse dentate and walnut shells: First, simulated seawater aquaculture wastewater was prepared in the laboratory using a national standard ammonia nitrogen reference (concentration: 1000 mg / L). 0.2 g of biochar from each group was added to an Erlenmeyer flask, along with 50 ml of an ammonia nitrogen solution (salinity 30) with a concentration of approximately 2 mg / L. The flask was shaken for 12 hours at 25°C and a shaking speed of 120 r / min. A portion of the water sample was then filtered, and its ammonia nitrogen concentration was measured. The blank group consisted of 50 ml of artificial seawater and biochar; the experimental group consisted of 50 ml of ammonia nitrogen solution and biochar; and the control group consisted of 50 ml of ammonia nitrogen solution.
[0079] Ammonia nitrogen adsorption experiment using apricot shells and reed straw: First, simulated seawater aquaculture wastewater was prepared in the laboratory using a national standard ammonia nitrogen reference (concentration: 1000 mg / L). 0.05 g of biochar from each group was added to an Erlenmeyer flask, along with 50 ml of an ammonia nitrogen solution (salinity 30) with a concentration of approximately 1 mg / L. The flask was shaken for 12 hours at 25℃ and a shaking speed of 120 r / min. A portion of the water sample was then filtered, and its ammonia nitrogen concentration was measured. The blank group consisted of 50 ml of artificial seawater and biochar; the experimental group consisted of 50 ml of ammonia nitrogen solution and biochar; and the control group consisted of 50 ml of ammonia nitrogen solution.
[0080] according to Figure 13 and Figure 14 The ammonia nitrogen removal rate of group B reached 59.9%, while that of group D was 9.3%. This indicates that the adsorption of ammonia nitrogen by biochar is competitive with that of Ca2+. The modified dentata biochar has fewer ammonia nitrogen binding sites on its surface, resulting in a decrease in ammonia nitrogen adsorption efficiency.
[0081] like Figure 15 and Figure 16 The removal rates of ammonia nitrogen in groups G and I were 9.8% and 22.7%, respectively, and the adsorption capacities were 0.052 mg / g and 0.12 mg / g, respectively. The adsorption capacity after modification was 2.31 times that before modification.
[0082] like Figure 17 and Figure 18 The removal rates of ammonia nitrogen for groups A and C were -3.4% and 8%, respectively, with adsorption capacities of -0.0075 mg / g and 0.017 mg / g, respectively. Group B also showed better ammonia nitrogen adsorption than group C. Therefore, seahorse tusks fired at 700℃ showed better ammonia nitrogen adsorption than those fired at 500℃. Soaking in pure water can dissolve some of the potentially polluting phosphates and ammonia nitrogen from the seahorse tusks themselves, reducing the potential pollution from the seahorse tusks.
