Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to make better use of the spent mushroom substrate (SMS) to prepare stable and high-quality biochar. 12 kinds of SMS of industrial Pleurotus eryngii with different raw material formulae were used as materials to establish the biochar preparation process of pyrolysis method, and the adsorption capacity of malachite green was used for rapid quality evaluation of biochar. The results showed that the physicochemical properties of the 12 kinds of SMS showed some differences. The carbon yield of the 12 treatments using the X0 group of SMS as the material ranged from 26.00% to 47.17%, and decreased with temperature increase. The optimal preparation condition for SMS biochar was determined to be 400℃ and 2.5 h based on the carbon yield, malachite green adsorption rate and energy consumption. The carbon yields of the other 11 kinds of SMS under the optimal condition showed no significant difference, and the adsorption rates to malachite green at 400 mg/L reached more than 95% for 2 h. It indicated that the produced biochar had good porosity and adsorption effect. In this study, the preparation process and evaluation method of SMS biochar were established, which could provide theoretical and practical basis for utilizing biochar prepared from SMS of industrial Pleurotus eryngii.
