Abstract

Sheep manure biochar (SMB550) was prepared by limited oxygen pyrolysis at 550°C and applied to constructed rapid infiltration (CRI) systems. The structural characteristics of SMB500 were tested and its effect on the wastewater treatment performance of CRI systems was investigated. The results showed that SMB550 had a large specific surface area, abundant pore structure and rich functional groups, showing a good adsorption potential. Using SMB550 as one of the filter material of CRI system, the average removal rates of COD, NH4+-N and TP were respectively 9.3%, 8.6% and 34.9% higher than those of the blank group, which enhanced the treatment performance of CRI systems for wastewater. As a new type of filter material, SMB550 had a good application prospect in the field of wastewater treatment.
