Removal of phosphate from activated biochar prepared from bentonite biochar composite: Kinetic, equilibrium, thermodynamic adsorption
Excess phosphorus threatens both aquatic ecosystems and human health. This study investigated the kinetic, equilibrium, and thermodynamic behavior of phosphate (PO43–) adsorption using a low-cost composite adsorbent synthesized from bentonite and rice-husk–derived activated carbon. Batch experiments examined the influe...
