Surface characterization of maize-straw-derived biochar and their sorption mechanism for Pb2+ and methylene blue.

Biochar derived from straw is a potential low-cost adsorbent for metal ions and organic pollutants, but its practical application is still limited by the adsorption capacity. In this study, the correlation between the biochar's properties and pyrolysis temperature was explored. The adsorption m...
