A method for preparing and applying
copper chloride-modified vinegar residue
biochar, belonging to the field of
wastewater treatment technology, is disclosed. The method involves: weighing 1.0000 g ± 0.0005 g of vinegar residue
powder and adding it to 40 mL of
ultrapure water, dispersing it thoroughly under magnetic stirring; then adding 0.5000 g of CuCl₂·2H₂O, mixing, and continuously stirring magnetically at
room temperature for 24 h to allow the CuCl₂ to form a
biochar. 2+ The mixture is thoroughly impregnated with vinegar residue to form a mixture. The mixture is then dried in an oven and transferred to a
tube furnace. Inside the
tube furnace, under a N₂
atmosphere, the temperature is increased to 600°C at 8°C / min and pyrolyzed for 120 min. After cooling, the product is removed, ground, and then
copper chloride-modified vinegar residue
biochar is obtained. This invention features a simple process flow, controllable operating conditions, low equipment requirements, good
repeatability, and suitability for large-scale preparation. The obtained
copper chloride-modified vinegar residue biochar exhibits excellent adsorption and degradation performance of organic pollutants, particularly efficient degradation and removal of
quinolone antibiotics such as
ciprofloxacin and
norfloxacin.
