The results obtained with batch experiments showed that the amount of Cu（II） adsorbed varied with the pyrolysis temperatures of rice straw biochar. The biochar produced at 400 ~C had the largest adsorption capacity for Cu（II） （0.37 mol kg-1） among the biochars, with the non-electrostatic adsorption as the main adsorption mechanism. The highest adsorption capacity for cyromazine （156.42 g kg-1） was found in the rice straw biochar produced at 600 ℃, and cyromazine adsorption was exclusively predominated by surface adsorption. An obvious competitive adsorption was found between 5 mmol L-1 Cu（II） and 2 g L-1 cyromazine when they were in the binary solute system. Biochar may be used to remediate heavy metal- and organic insecticide-contaminated water, while the pyrolysis temperature of feedstocks for producing biochar should be considered for the restoration of multi-contamination.展开更多
