In this work, electron transfer (ET) moiety of PC was ascertained in chromate (Cr(VI)) reduction by zero-valent iron supported by pyrogenic carbon (PC) (ZVI/PC) prepared by pyrolysis of hematite (alpha-Fe2O3)-treated pine-wood. X-ray diffraction analysis suggested successive phase transformation of alpha-Fe2O3 -magnetite (Fe3O4)-> wustite (FeO)-> ZVI (Fe degrees). Raman spectra and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis revealed that ZVI/PC is characterized with more ordered graphitic carbon and greater surface area than pristine PC. Maximal Cr(VI) removal capacity (pH = 3) as predicted by Langmuir isotherm model were 5.78, 36.12 and 8.39g kg(-1) for PC, ZVI/PC and ZVI, respectively. ZVI/PC maintained significantly greater Cr(VI) removal capacity than ZVI and PC at pH 3-9, but Cr(VI) removal dropped rapidly to 6.78 g kg(-1) at pH 4 and above. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and successive desorption of Cr-laden ZVI/PC and ZVI showed trivalent Cr was the dominant species, suggesting reduction was an important mechanism for Cr(VI) detoxification. Electrochemical analysis demonstrated that ZVI/PC exhibited greater Tafel corrosion rate and ET quantity, with lower electrical resistance. Besides, Cr(VI) reduction showed reversal trend with electrical resistance of ZVI/PC. To conclude, ET capacity was closely associated with electrical conductivity of ZVI/PC due to intensified conducive graphitic carbon structure of PC at higher pyrogenic temperatures.
