Activated Plantain Peel Biochar As Adsorbent For Removal of Zinc(II) Ions From Aqueous Solution: Equilibrium and Kinetics Studies.

Plantain peel biomass was carbonized, activated, and characterized using BET surface area and XRD. The XRD diffraction indicated crystalline structure with crystallite size of 14.56 nm evaluated through Debye-Scherrer equation. The pore size (cc/g) and pore surface area (m2/g) of the biochar was 8....
