ABSTRACT
The development of low-cost, highly efficient adsorbent materials is of significant importance for environmental remediation. In this study, a novel material, sulfurized nano zero-valent iron loaded biomass carbon (S-nZVI/BC), was successfully synthesized by a simple manufacturing process. The preparation of S-nZVI/BC does not require the use of expensive and hazardous chemicals. Instead, residual sludge, a solid waste product, is used as feedstock. The sludge is rich in Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria (SRB), which can provide carbon and sulfur sources for the synthesis of S-nZVI/BC. It was observed that S-nZVI particles formed in situ were dispersed within BC and covered by it. Additionally, S-nZVI/BC inherited the large specific surface area and porosity of BC. The adsorption capacity of S-nZVI/BC can reach 857.55 mg g-1 Hg (II) during the remediation of mercury-polluted water. This research offers new perspectives for developing composites in terms of the low cost and harmlessness of raw materials.
