     Abstract Biochar can be made from agricultural waste products and can be used as a low-cost adsorbent targeting dissolved organic matter (DOM). In water treatment plant (WTP) operation, DOM causes undesirable taste and odor in water. The objective of this study was to investigate the applicability of bamboo biochar derived from waste char from wood vinegar production as an adsorbent for DOM removal. Raw biochar (BCRaw) and 800°C post-heated biochar (BC800) was tested for its surface characteristics including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET) analysis. The post-pyrolysis treatment increased the surface area of the biochar from 90.3 to 274 m2/g. Batch experiments were conducted to evaluate performance of the two biochars using raw water collected from Tapra WTP, Khon Kaen, Thailand, which uses the Chi River as its water source. BC800 had higher DOM removal compared to BCRaw. The adsorption capacities at 24-h equilibrium (Qe) of BCRaw and BC800 were 0.148 and 0.551 mg-C/g adsorbent, respectively. The adsorption kinetics were described well with a pseudo-second order model, which implied chemisorption and multiple adsorption mechanisms. Fluorescent excitation-emission matric (EEM) spectroscopy was employed to characterize DOM before and after treatment with biochars. BC800 achieved greater removal of terrestrial humic-like and fulvic-like DOM, due to the presence of oxygen functional groups, which enhances removal capacity for aromatic compounds. Overall, this study shows the potential use of bamboo biochar derived from waste materials as an adsorbent for DOM removal.
