Biochar has potential to control the bioavailability and migration of potentially toxic heavy metals in soil by adsorption. Natural ageing in the environment may change the physicochemical properties and adsorption function of biochar over the long-term. The present study compared the effects of different simulated ageing treatments on Cd adsorption of high and low temperature biochar from straw of corn (Zea mays). Fresh and aged biochars were systematically characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, XPS, Zeta, SEM-EDS, XRD and the composition of their mineral ash. The adsorption of Cd to fresh and aged biochars was then assessed under the influence of pH. Drawing the results together the effects of ageing on the extent and mode of Cd adsorption could be elucidated. The results showed that the adsorption capacity of fresh biochar produced at 650 °C was higher than of biochar made at 350 °C, and that mineral co-precipitation plays a dominant role in Cd sorption. Leaching removed organic and inorganic ash components from biochars, markedly diminishing the capacity of the high temperature biochar to adsorb Cd. The adsorption performance of the low temperature biochar was dependent on surface complexation. The adsorption capacity of low-temperature biochar was markedly enhanced by oxygen-containing functional groups formed through acidification and oxidation. The long-term benefits of biochar in the management of polluted soil require a rethink, considering the contrasting ageing behavior of different temperature biochar and their response to different ageing environments.
