Adsorption Characteristics of Phosphate Ions by Pristine, CaCl<sub>2</sub> and FeCl<sub>3</sub>-Activated Biochars Originated from Tangerine Peels
This study has evaluated the removal efficiencies of phosphate ions (PO<sub>4</sub><sup>3−</sup>) using pristine (TB) and chemical-activated tangerine peel biochars. The adsorption kinetics and isotherm presented that the enhanced physicochemical properties of TB surface thro...

The PO<sub>4</sub><sup>3−</sup> removal efficiency of CTB and FTB decreased with the ionic strength increased due to the compression of the electrical double layer on the CTB and FTB surfaces.

This study has evaluated the removal efficiencies of phosphate ions (PO<sub>4</sub><sup>3−</sup>) using pristine (TB) and chemical-activated tangerine peel biochars.
