Heavy Metal Sorption by Sludge-Derived Biochar with Focus on Pb<sup>2+</sup> Sorption Capacity at µg/L Concentrations

Municipal wastewater management causes metal exposure to humans and the environment. Targeted metal removal is suggested to reduce metal loads during sludge reuse and release of effluent to receiving waters. Biochar is considered a low-cost sorbent with high sorption capacity for heavy metals. In th...
