Abstract
Biochar colloids (BCs) have attracted much attention globally, and their fate and transport in the subsurface are significantly influenced by soil-dissolved organic matter (DOM) in soil. This study utilized a real-time and non-invasive visualization system to reveal the transport and retention behavior of BCs in the presence of DOM in two-dimensional porous media. Results indicated that the presence of DOM enhanced the transport of BCs, due to its increased negative charge density and increased repulsion between BCs. The change in the particle size of the porous medium was also shown to affect the BCs transport in the porous media. Additionally, the negative charge of BCs shielded by high IS, the mobility of BCs decreased by 30.37 % from 1 mM to 50 mM. When the pH was increased from 5 to 9, the oxygen-containing functional groups of BCs and DOM were dissociated, and the mobility of BCs increased by 32.41 %. Through a simplified Double-Monod model, we fitted the breakthrough curves for BCs transport in porous media (R2 > 0.94). Moreover, the mechanism of different conditions on colloid clogging behavior was further elucidated through the DLVO theory. These findings extend the understanding of the environmental behavior of BCs in the presence of DOM derived from soil, enabling us to assess better and predict their environmental risks.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Hydrology publishes original research papers and comprehensive reviews in all the subfields of the hydrological sciences including water based management and policy issues that impact on economics and society. These comprise, but are not limited to the physical, chemical, biogeochemical, stochastic and systems aspects of surface and groundwater hydrology, hydrometeorology and hydrogeology. Relevant topics incorporating the insights and methodologies of disciplines such as climatology, water resource systems, hydraulics, agrohydrology, geomorphology, soil science, instrumentation and remote sensing, civil and environmental engineering are included. Social science perspectives on hydrological problems such as resource and ecological economics, environmental sociology, psychology and behavioural science, management and policy analysis are also invited. Multi-and interdisciplinary analyses of hydrological problems are within scope. The science published in the Journal of Hydrology is relevant to catchment scales rather than exclusively to a local scale or site.
