Surface Functionalization of Biochar from Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch through Hydrothermal Process

The use of biochar as an adsorbent for wastewater treatment purposes has been hindered due to its lower surface area compared to activated carbon. Current research on increasing surface functional groups on biochar surfaces to improve its adsorption performance suggests using high chemical concentra...
