High surface area peat moss biochar and its potential for Chromium metal adsorption from aqueous solutions
Activated carbons (ACs) have been synthesized using local peat moss biomass for adsorption of heavy metal ions. Adsorbents with different surface areas and pore sizes were obtained using a chemical activation route with different impregnation ratios (20%, 30%, and 40%) of phosphoric acid. The carbon...
