摘要： The adsorption characteristics of rice-husk biochar (RHB) rich in silicon (Si) for Cd2+ in solution and soil were investigated. Three biochars were produced at different pyrolytic temperatures of 300 degrees C(RHB300), 500 degrees C(RHB500) and 700 degrees C (RHB700). The pH effect, adsorption kinetics and isotherms were examined, and chemical analyses of Cd2+-loaded biochars were conducted by SEM-EDS, FTIR, XRD and Boehm titration. Biochars produced at higher temperature have much larger pH and surface area, resulting in greater adsorption capacities and faster adsorption kinetics. Maximum adsorption capacities calculated from Langmuir isotherm were 62.75, 77.37 and 93.50 mg/g for RHB300, RHB500 and RHB700, respectively. Cd2+ adsorption was primarily attributed to cation exchange and precipitation, which jointly contributed 59.55% (RHB300) to 76.05% (RHB700) of the total adsorption, but the mechanisms of complexation and coordination were of minor importance in total adsorption. The relationship of eachmechanism with biochar's properties was further discussed. Si-containing minerals within biochar made a much larger contribution to precipitation than total adsorption, as the respective contribution proportion were 33.92% and 8.33% on average. When added to highly Cd-polluted soil, the biochars could effectively reduce the availability of Cd2+ after incubation for 35 days, and ameliorate soil acidification through the speediness of Si released into soil solutions. These demonstrate that rice husk-derived biochar, produced at high temperatures, can be suitable applied to mitigate Cd-contamination of soil and water, and the presented analyses shed light on the mechanisms underlying the adsorption by this Si-rich biochar.
