Abstract:The column test and permeability test were carried out to explore the biochar/nZVI composite removal effect on trichloroethylene and the permeability of the BC-nZVI composite. The results show biochar/nZVI composite for TCE removal rate can reach more than 90% in 2h, close to 100% at 10h. The removal rate gradually declined with the consumption of Biochar/nZVI composite; however, it maintained a noticeable remediation effect within 24hours, and the removal rate remained at over 90% but decreased to 73.96% after 72h. In the PRB system, the reaction medium material migrates under the long-term water flow, and the stability of the BC-nZVI composite decreases with the decrease in the iron ratio. Compared with pure BC material, the migration and loss of 5BC-1nZVI material were relatively low under continuous 3-day seepage. The microscopic results show that the BC-nZVI composite can be successfully synthesized by the ball milling method, and it was found that after ball milling, nZVI particles have a certain degree of oxidation. Due to the adhesion of degradation products by the reaction of BC-nZVI composites with TCE, a white film will be formed on the surface of the carbon-iron material, and the pore size decreases; hence, the removal efficiency of BC-nZVI composites for TCE decreases.
