Chemically Modified Biochar Produced from Conocarpus Wastes: An Efficient Sorbent for Fe(II) Removal from Acidic Aqueous Solutions

Fe(II) removal from acidic aqueous solutions using Conocarpus sp. biochar or chemically modified biochar prepared by synthesizing Mg(OH)2 on biochar surface as well as their comparison with zeolite sorbent (natural clinoptilolite) was investigated. Batch experiments were conducted as a function of i...
