Phosphate ions removal from aqueous phase by batch adsorption on activated (activation before carbonization) biochar derived from rubber pod husk

Acid-activated biochar was prepared from rubber pod husk, by activation before carbonization, and used to remove phosphate ions from aqueous solution by batch adsorption. The aim was to produce cheap carbon and evaluate its efficiency in tackling pollution of water bodies by phosphate ions. Results...
