What is Soil Colloids Affect the Aggregation and Stability of Biochar Colloids about?
The stability of biochar colloids plays an important role in the transport and fate of contaminants and nutrients in soil. This study aimed to investigate the effects of main soil components, kaolin (Kao), goethite (Goe), and humic acid (HA) colloids on the aggregation kinetics of biochar colloids derived from dairy manure (DM), sewage sludge (SS), and wheat straw (WS). The WS biochar colloid had the highest critical coagulation concentration (CCC) (624 mM) than that of SS (200 mM) and DM (75 mM) due to its richest hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, showing the highest stability. Kao markedly improved the stability of DM and SS biochar colloids with 171% and 52.5% increase of CCC, respectively, by increasing the electrostatic repulsion of the system. However, the WS biochar colloid became more aggregated in the presence of Kao since the hydroxyl and carboxyl functional groups in WS biochar colloid could complex with Kao, generating electrostatic shielding. Goe could rapidly combine with biochar colloids via electrostatic attraction, resulting in the aggregation of SS and WS, while the aggregation rate of DM/Goe mixed colloids was inhibited. The HA increased the electrostatic repulsion o
