Résumé

Current research focuses on extracting humic acid (HA) compounds from low-rank coals to obtain high value-added products. In this study, HAs with high purity and low heavy metal content were obtained from lignite by combining acid pretreatment with hydrothermal treatment. Scanning electron microscopy, elemental analysis (EA), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) were used to analyze raw lignite and HAs. The effects of acid and hydrothermal treatments on the inorganic elements, functional groups, and yield of HAs were examined. The results showed that acid treatment reduced the ash content of lignite from 20 to 9%, and hydrothermal treatment increased the yield of HAs from 36 to 68%. The chemical properties of HAs exhibited an increase in molecular weight and improved aromaticity after acid and hydrothermal treatments. The results of ICP-OES analysis suggested that the combined method of acid and hydrothermal treatments resulted in a significant reduction of heavy metal elements in HAs. FTIR analysis confirmed the results and demonstrated that the extracted HA from nitric acid pretreated and hydrothermal generation of lignite PHA was rich in carboxyl and phenolic functional groups. PHA was applied to biochar as an activator for the adsorption of heavy metal ions. The experimental results showed that PHA was successfully loaded onto biochar and introduced a large number of functional groups, and the adsorption capacity of the modified biochar for Pb
