Efficient Removal of Hexavalent Chromium from an Aquatic System Using Nanoscale Zero-Valent Iron Supported by Ramie Biochar

In this study, ramie biochar (RBC) was used to activate nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) to enhance hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) removal. The best results were obtained at a pyrolysis temperature of 600 °C, a biochar particle size of < 150 μm, and an iron to carbon ratio = 1:1. Under the optimal cond...
