[0063] In the present invention, plant residues are added to the farmland sludge as raw materials, so that the obtained biochar has richer oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface, a more developed pore structure, and a larger specific surface area, significantly improving the adsorption performance. The obtained magnetic biochar mainly adsorbs BPA, as well as inorganic substances such as phosphate, nitrate nitrogen, and fluorine in fertilizers through pore filling, hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interaction, and electrostatic interaction. When the pH value is small, the Fe-O + H2 sites can also electrostatically adsorb NO3 - and F - . Moreover, the magnetic biochar has strong magnetism, enabling it to be separated from the compost product by means of an external magnetic device after adsorbing harmful substances such as BPA, avoiding adverse effects on the soil and the environment.

[0064] The present invention also provides the magnetic biochar obtained by the preparation method described in the above technical solution.

[0065] The magnetic biochar provided by the present invention has strong adsorption ability for bisphenol A due to the rich functional groups and pore structure on its surface, but is not limited to adsorbing bisphenol A, and can also adsorb common organic pollutants and inorganic pollutants, such as phenol, heavy metal ions, nitrogen oxides, and phosphates.

[0066] The present invention also provides the application of the magnetic biochar described in the above technical solution in the preparation of fertilizers. As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the magnetic biochar can be used as an adsorption material in the process of fertilizer preparation to adsorb endocrine disruptors and degrade them, thereby improving the safety of compost; the fertilizer can be an organic fertilizer, and the organic fertilizer can be organic compost.

[0067] The present invention also provides a method for preparing an organic fertilizer, comprising the following steps:

[0068] Mix the compost raw materials and magnetic biochar, and perform composting to obtain the organic fertilizer; the magnetic biochar is the magnetic biochar described in the above technical solution.

[0069] In the present invention, the mass ratio of the magnetic biochar to the compost raw materials is 3-9:100, and can also be 5-8.5:100.

[0070] In the present invention, the composting includes a heating period, a high-temperature period, and a cooling period in sequence; the temperature of the heating period is 20-50 °C, and the time is 2-4 d; the temperature of the high-temperature period is 50-70 °C, and the time is 7-8 d; the temperature of the cooling period is 20-50 °C, and the time is 10-12 d; the composting process also includes photocatalysis. In the present invention, the complexation between BPA and magnetic biochar is affected by temperature, pressure, and solvent. The higher the temperature, the higher the efficiency of magnetic biochar in degrading BPA. Photocatalysis can be used to promote the degradation of BPA by magnetic biochar. Through photocatalysis, using the photosensitive active substances on the surface of magnetic biochar, reactive oxygen species are generated under the condition of light irradiation, thereby degrading BPA. After the composting, it also includes oxidation treatment and / or photocatalytic degradation. In the present invention, the role of oxidation treatment and photocatalytic degradation is to convert substances such as phenol, phenolic aldehyde, and phenolic acid into harmless products.

[0071] The present invention applies magnetic biochar to the organic fertilizer, achieving the effect of effectively adsorbing bisphenol A and other impurities, which is beneficial to screening out bisphenol A, antibiotics, heavy metals and other substances from the compost sample, improving the quality of the fertilizer. And it is also beneficial to the recycling of waste. Adding magnetic biochar to the compost will increase the porosity of the added material, and the activities of catalase, dehydrogenase, pH value, and organic matter in the material will all increase. It can be seen that magnetic biochar can also regulate the composting process, reduce nitrogen loss, increase the carbon content of the compost product, and enrich the role of biochar in the composting process.

[0072] Specifically, magnetic biochar has a rich pore structure. BPA molecules can enter the pores through physical adsorption and interact with the pore walls. The hydroxyl groups on the surface of magnetic biochar can serve as active sites to promote the process of electron transfer and can form hydrogen bonds with the hydroxyl groups in BPA to form hydrogen-bonded compounds. This hydrogen-bonding interaction can enhance the interaction force between magnetic biochar and BPA, which is beneficial to the adsorption process. The surface of magnetic biochar is usually rich in hydrophobic groups, and BPA is a hydrophobic substance. The hydrophobic interaction makes BPA molecules more likely to be adsorbed on the surface of magnetic biochar, thus achieving effective adsorption. The hydroxyl and carboxyl groups on the surface of magnetic biochar carry positive and negative charges, and electrostatic interactions occur with the corresponding groups in BPA during the adsorption process, which can help enhance the adsorption effect on BPA.

[0073] The hydroxyl and carboxyl groups on the surface of magnetic biochar can form hydrogen bonds or electrostatic interactions with phosphate ions, thereby adsorbing phosphates. The pore structure of magnetic biochar is also conducive to the adsorption of phosphates. Through physical adsorption, phosphates are fixed on the surface of biochar. The nitrogen-containing functional groups on the surface of magnetic biochar can form hydrogen bonds with nitrate nitrogen to achieve the adsorption of nitrate nitrogen. The fluorine-containing functional groups on the surface of magnetic carbon can form hydrogen bonds or electrostatic interactions with fluorides to achieve the adsorption of fluorine. The pore structure and large surface area of magnetic biochar are also conducive to the adsorption of fluoride ions, improving the adsorption efficiency.

[0074] To further illustrate the present invention, the following will describe in detail a magnetic biochar and its preparation method and application, and the preparation method of organic fertilizer provided by the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but they should not be construed as limiting the protection scope of the present invention.

[0075] Example 1

[0076] Take 300 g of sludge from the watermelon planting land in the Shunyi base of Beijing (including 200 g of farmland sludge with a water content of 70% and 100 g of watermelon vines). After naturally air-drying the sludge for 48 h, dry it in a drying oven at 60 °C for 12 h. Grind the dried sludge into fine powder, sieve the fine powder of sludge through a 100-mesh sieve, and then put the sieved fine powder of sludge into a box-type resistance furnace and pyrolytically carbonize the fine powder of sludge at 300 °C for 2 h. After cooling the crude product of carbonized sludge biochar to room temperature, grind it and sieve it through a 100-mesh sieve to obtain sludge biochar (SBC), and store it in a sample bottle for later use.

[0077] Dissolve 3.6 g of FeSO4·7H2O and 4.8 g of FeCl3·6H2O in 10 mL of water, then add 5 mL of 56% ammonia water solution, and stir rapidly for 2 h to produce precipitation. After separating the generated precipitate from water, heat it to 80 °C for 20 min, collect the magnetic particles by wrapping a nylon cloth around a magnet, and then rinse off the remaining salts with running water to obtain magnetic particles.

[0078] Mix 150 g of the obtained magnetic particles with 10 mL of water, add 0.6 g of sodium dodecyl sulfate and 5 drops of sodium hydroxide solution to make the pH value 7.5, heat to 90 °C and react for 50 min to allow sodium dodecyl sulfate to be fully adsorbed on the surface of the magnetic particles. After the reaction is completed, add hydrochloric acid, and the pH value of the mixed solution drops from 7.5 to 7.0. Then use a magnet wrapped with a nylon cloth to collect the modified magnetic particles, and discard the remaining liquid.

[0079] Wash the collected modified magnetic particles 4 times with water. Take 100 g and put it into a container, add 0.75 g of isobutyl tripolyphosphate and 9.25 g of distilled water, stir and mix, and perform ultrasonic treatment for 10 min to prepare a magnetizer.

[0080] Soak 50 g of sludge biochar in 200 mL of a 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide solution with a molar concentration of 0.1 mol / L for 2 h, and adjust the pH value to 7.2 to obtain an activated biochar system;

[0081] Add 10 g of the magnetizer to the activated biochar system, then heat up to 85 °C and stir for 2.5 h, and then separate the crude magnetic biochar. Rinse the remaining 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide and magnetizer on the crude magnetic biochar with running water, and then put it into a drying oven at 100 °C to dry to obtain the finished magnetic biochar.

[0082] In the present invention, the average particle size of the finally obtained magnetic biochar is 96 μm, and the specific surface area is 265.25 m² / g. These parameters indicate that through the modification treatment, the specific surface area of the biochar has increased significantly, which helps to improve its adsorption performance.

[0083] Example 2

[0084] Prepare magnetic biochar according to the technical solution described in Example 1, with the only difference being that the dosage of FeSO4·7H2O is 2.4 g and the dosage of FeCl3·6H2O is 3.6 g.

[0085] Example 3

[0086] Prepare magnetic biochar according to the technical solution described in Example 1, except that the dosage of FeSO4·7H2O is 4.8 g and the dosage of FeCl3·6H2O is 6 g.

[0087] Application Example 1

[0088] Figure 1 It is a schematic flow chart of applying the magnetic biochar obtained in Examples 1 to 3 to the return of organic fertilizers to the field. The specific process includes: using compost materials as the test raw materials, incorporating magnetic biochar (the mass ratio of compost materials to magnetic biochar is 100:3 - 7). BPA molecules are first adsorbed on the surface of magnetic biochar through physical adsorption, and BPA temporarily stays on the surface of magnetic biochar. Then, it undergoes a chemical reaction with the active sites on the surface of magnetic biochar to form chemical bonds. Chemical adsorption involves interactions such as hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking. On the basis of chemical adsorption, BPA molecules undergo a complexation reaction with the functional groups on the surface of magnetic activated carbon, in which chemical bonds are formed between some structures of BPA and the functional groups on the surface of activated carbon. After magnetic biochar degrades BPA through chemical adsorption, organic substances such as phenol, phenolic compounds, and phenolic acids are produced. First, use analytical methods such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to identify and quantitatively analyze the degradation products, determine the types and concentrations of the main degradation products, use oxidation treatment to convert organic oxides such as phenol into harmless products, use photocatalytic degradation to degrade organic substances such as phenolic acids under light conditions and convert them into harmless substances. After the treatment is completed, use an external magnetic field to separate the magnetic biochar from it, and use an analytical instrument to monitor the state of the treated materials to ensure that the degraded materials are effectively treated and meet the agricultural fertilizer standards, ensuring the safe application of fertilizers.

[0089] Use a gas chromatography-mass spectrometer to detect the concentrations of BPA before and after degradation by the magnetic biochar obtained in Examples 1 to 3 (the mass ratio of compost materials to magnetic biochar is 100:8.5). The experiment was carried out in a 50 mL beaker, and the conditions of the magnetic stirrer were set at a constant temperature of 25 °C and a stirring speed of 700 r / min. In a constant temperature and constant speed device, the prepared sludge-based magnetic biochar was mixed and reacted with a bisphenol A solution (10 mg / L), and the reaction time was 12 min. Samples were taken at regular intervals, and a high-performance liquid chromatograph was used to detect the pollutant concentration. The content of BPA in the materials is shown in Table 1.

[0090] Table 1 Concentration data of BPA before and after degradation by the magnetic biochar obtained in Examples 1 to 3

[0091]

[0092] As can be seen from Table 1, the dosages of FeSO4·7H2O and FeCl3·6H2O are 3.6 g and 4.8 g respectively, and the adsorption capacity is 6.54 mg / g; the dosages of FeSO4·7H2O and FeCl3·6H2O are 2.4 g and 3.6 g respectively, and the adsorption capacity is 4.43 mg / g; the dosages of FeSO4·7H2O and FeCl3·6H2O are 4.8 g and 6 g respectively, and the adsorption capacity is 5.26 mg / g. It can be seen that increasing the dosages of FeSO4·7H2O and FeCl3·6H2O can first increase the adsorption capacity and then decrease it, and the adsorption capacity of Example 1 is the highest. Regarding the change in the BPA concentration before and after adsorption, the BPA concentration before adsorption is 1.42 mg / L, and the BPA concentration after adsorption is 0.28 mg / L; the BPA concentration before adsorption is 1.53 mg / L, and the BPA concentration after adsorption is 0.73 mg / L; the BPA concentration before adsorption is 1.45 mg / L, and the BPA concentration after adsorption is 0.54 mg / L. From these data, we can see that the BPA concentration after adsorption has decreased, indicating that the magnetic particles have a certain adsorption effect on BPA. The adsorption effect of Example 1 is the best, probably because the higher dosages of FeSO4·7H2O and FeCl3·6H2O lead to the generation of more magnetic particles, thus increasing the adsorption capacity and adsorption rate.

[0093] Application Example 2

[0094] Using a sequencing batch aerobic fermentation device, 20 kg of watermelon vines and sludge from its land are taken as compost raw materials (including 10 kg of farmland sludge with a water content of 70% and 10 kg of watermelon vines), and the magnetic biochar obtained in Example 2 is used in dosages of 0.6 kg, 1 kg, and 1.4 kg respectively. After mixing evenly, the materials are put into the fermentation chamber. After 15 days of fermentation, the materials are taken out, fully mixed with the raw materials, and the obtained compost products are subjected to the determination of bisphenol A (BPA) content and other index analyses. The test results are shown in Figure 2 and Table 2.

[0095] Table 2 Concentration data of BPA before and after degradation with different dosages of the magnetic biochar obtained in Example 2

[0096]

[0097] As Figure 2 can be seen, under the condition that the application amount of biochar is 5% (the dosage of magnetic biochar is 1 kg), the quality of the compost product is the highest and the utilization rate of biochar is the highest.

[0098] As can be seen from Table 2, the magnetic biochar provided by the present invention has good adsorption and separation effects on endocrine disruptors in compost. With the increase in the dosage of magnetic biochar, the concentration of heavy metals in compost generally decreases, indicating that magnetic biochar has good adsorption effects on heavy metals. In particular, when the dosage of magnetic biochar is 1.4 kg, the adsorption effects on Cu, Pb, Zn, Cr, and Cd are the most significant. This provides strong data support for the application of magnetic biochar in compost.

[0099] Although the above embodiments have described the present invention in detail, they are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Other embodiments can also be obtained based on these embodiments without creative efforts, and these embodiments all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
