Evaluation and correlation of the influence of production parameters on biochar characteristics and its influence on the adsorption of three industrial dyes

Abstract

Remediation of waste water containing hazardous dyes using biochar (BC), as an adsorption technique, is a cost effective and efficient method. As a statistical approach, this study was focused on how feedstocks, pyrolysis temperature, production method and modification affect to the physiochemical properties of BC and how these properties affect to the adsorption of methylene blue (MB), crystal violet (CV) and rhodamine B (RB) from aqueous medium.
