Removal of Heavy Metals From Aqueous Solutions Using Biochar Derived From Agricultural Waste: Kinetics, Mechanisms, and Cost Analysis.
This study evaluates the adsorption performance and mechanisms of Pb(II), Cu(II), Cd(II), and Zn(II) removal from water using coconut-fiber-derived biochar (CFBC). The physicochemical properties of CFBC were characterized by proximate and ultimate analyses, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffract...
