    Since little is known about the sorption/desorption behaviors of the mixed chlorobenzenes (CBs) on fresh and aged biochar, this study evaluated the co-sorption/co-desorption mechanism of the mixed monochlorobenzene (MCB), 1,2-dichlorobenzene (1,2-DCB) and 1,2,4-tirchlorobenzene (1,2,4-TCB) on the fresh bulk biochar derived from pinewood sawdust and corn straw under the heat treatment temperature (HTT) of 300 and 500 °C, and elucidated the aging-induced changes in the sorption/desorption of mixed CBs by biochar. The distinct sorption capacities of MCB< 1,2-DCB< 1,2,4-TCB were observed on all the tested biochar with the differences being further enhanced following the rise of HTT, as the main sorption mechanism was converted from phase partitioning to π-π interaction between graphitized biochar moieties and more hydrophobic aromatic chemicals. In comparison to the fresh biochar, the sorption suppression of the mixed CBs on the aged biochar was likely attributable to the reduction in accessibility to the aromatic carbon in biochar by introducing O-containing polar moieties on the biochar surfaces. Intriguingly, the kinetics of desorption was decreased with the aging of biochar may be caused by the increase in surface steric hindrance. These findings can provide new insights on understanding the co-sorption/co-desorption mechanism of the mixed CBs and help assess and manage the application of biochar on the treatment of contaminated soil and groundwater under field conditions.
