Abstract

Oil spills are one of the marine pollution events triggered by the results of tanker operations (air ballast), ship repairs and maintenance (docking), mid-ocean loading and unloading terminals, air bilge (drainage of water, oil, and engine-processed lubricants), ship scrapping, and the most common accidents/collisions of tankers. The impacts vary from the death of marine organisms, especially fish, changes in reproduction and behavior of organisms, plankton contamination, fish migration, as well as ecosystem damage, and economic loss. Bio-based absorbents such as biochar can be an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical sorbents that works to adsorb oil spills faster. In this study, the effectiveness of magnetic biochar in oil spill removal was investigated. It also includes the synthesisation of magnetic biochar from agricultural waste (bagasse, rice husks, and sawdust) using the hydrothermal method at a temperature of 200°C. Hydrothermal carbonization is considered a cost-effective method for biochar production because the process can be carried out at low temperatures around 180°- 250°C. Biochar characterization was carried out with a Scanning Electron Microscope and Energy Dispersive X-Ray (SEM-EDX), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET) and Barrett–Joyner–Halenda (BJH) were used to analyse the surface area and pore size distribution. Based on the results of the SEM-EDX analysis, only biochar was made from rice husk and sugarcane bagasse which contained Fe elements, as a result of the FeCl3.6H2O reaction. This condition is also proven by the presence of the FeO on both samples based on FTIR. The three synthesized biochar are amorphous and categorized as mesopores due to pore size around 15 to 16 nm, which can absorb petroleum spills with a percentage of 81% for sugarcane bagasse-based biochar, 84% for rice husk-based biochar, and 70% for sawdust-based biochar. Biochar from rice husk has excellent adsorption effectiveness with an adsorption capacity of 0.21 g/g in 60 min due to its large functional group area and the excellent attachment of magnetic compound into the biochar surface to form magnetic biochar.

Abstract

Overcoming climate change is crucial to ensure environmental sustainability. This research focuses on the development of chemically activated biochar (CAB) from mangrove litters that can be used for CO2 adsorption, which leads to reducing the impacts of climate change. The synthesisation of CAB was carried out via pyrolysis at 400℃ for 2 hours under nitrogen gas flow, followed by treatment using various activating agents (0.1 M of H2SO4, HCl, KOH, and NaOH) for 2 hours with a biochar-to-solution ratio of 1 g : 4 mL. The activation process was designed to enhance surface area, pore characteristics, and functional groups associated with CO2 adsorption performance. The observation on the characteristics of CAB using Scanning Electron Microscope and Energy Dispersive X-Ray (SEM-EDX), The Brunauer, Emmett, Teller and Barret-Joyner-Halenda (BET-BJH), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), CHN Analyser, and static batch CO2 adsorption tests shows the ability of CAB in capturing CO2 through several possible mechanism. Among the samples, KOH-activated biochar (B-KOH) exhibited the highest CO2 adsorption capacity, reaching 12.47 mmol CO2 g-1 biochar. This high performance is attributed to a potassium (K) composition of 9.74%, which effectively catalyzed the development of a microporous structure, resulting in a micropore volume of 5.927 x 10-3 cm3/g and an optimized average pore width of 1.543 nm. Furthermore, B-KOH maintained the highest O-H group area (1.533 a.u. x cm-1), enhancing its affinity for CO2 molecules. This research offers an innovative and practical solution to reduce greenhouse gases and is expected to have a significant impact, both locally and globally, in advancing sustainable development.
