Biochar is a promising material for facilitating the reclamation of oil sands process water (OSPW); however, how biochar properties can be optimized for metal removal from OSPW is not well studied. This study was conducted to determine relationships among feedstock type, pyrolysis condition, biochar...

Biochar is a promising material for efficient removal of toxic metals from wastewater to meet standards for discharge into surface water. We characterized adsorption behaviour of willow (Salix alba) wood (WW) and cattle manure (CM) and their biochars, willow wood biochar (WWB) and cattle manure bioc...

The effectiveness of biochar as a sorptive material to remove contaminants, particularly heavy metals, from water is dependent on biomass type and pyrolysis condition. Biochars were produced from pulp mill sludge (PMS) and rice straw (RS) with nitrogen (N2) or carbon dioxide (CO2) as the purging gas...

The effectiveness of the modification of wheat straw biochar using FeCl3 and HCl, alone or combined, on ammonium adsorption was evaluated using kinetic and isotherm models. The adsorption mechanisms were studied by comparative analysis of the surface properties of the biochars before and after ammon...
