Removal of Copper (II) by Biochar Mediated by Dissolved Organic Matter

Abstract The effects of humic acid (HA) and fulvic acid (FA) on Cu2+ adsorption on biochar were investigated, with mechanisms confirmed by excitation-emission matrix spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. HA loading enhanced Cu2+ adsorption on biocha...
