Characterization of Empty Fruit Bunch Biochar Pyrolyzed at Different Temperatures with Respect to Activated Carbon and their Sorption Capacities for Pentachlorophenol

Characterization of Empty Fruit Bunch Biochar Pyrolyzed at Different Temperatures with Respect to Activated Carbon and their Sorption Capacities for Pentachlorophenol

Pentachlorophenol (PCP) has been used extensively in the wood preservation industry. It is highly persistent in the environment and toxic to living organisms. The present study investigated the effectiveness of an oil palm empty fruit bunch biochar (EFBB) pyrolyzed at 350, 550 and 650°C in adsorbing...
