This invention discloses an
oxygen-activated iron-rich
biochar, its preparation method, and its application, relating to the field of materials technology. The preparation method includes the following steps: pulverized
biomass raw materials are subjected to high-temperature
pyrolysis under
oxygen-deficient conditions, cooled, and sieved to obtain raw
biochar powder. This
powder is then thoroughly mixed with
ferric nitrate nonahydrate, and KOH solution is added dropwise under
oxygen-purifying conditions until the solution pH is neutral. After
solid-liquid separation, a precipitate is obtained, which is then freeze-dried and finally sieved to obtain the oxygen-activated iron-rich
biochar. This invention utilizes high-purity oxygen to optimize the iron-rich biochar, resulting in a material with a large specific surface area, small average pore size, and a high number of micropores, significantly enhancing its adsorption capacity. Furthermore, it eliminates the risk of secondary
pollution, has a simple preparation process, and is suitable for large-scale industrialization. In addition, it exhibits excellent solidification and stabilization properties for
heavy metals, especially for the adsorption of variable-valence metals like
arsenic, far exceeding that of commercially available modified biochar.
