Copper removal from aqueous solution using biochar: Effect of chemical activation

The main aim of this study was to test the efficiency of biochar for Cu removal from synthetic and soil solutions, respectively. The biochar was produced from brewers draff via pyrolysis. Additionally, the prepared biochar was also activated using 2 M KOH to enhance its sorption efficiency to remove...
