Facile synthesis of corncob biochar via in-house modified pyrolysis for removal of methylene blue in wastewater

Low-cost biochar was derived from corncob Zea mays L. cultivated in Northern Thailand for animal feed by facile synthesis with in-house modified pyrolysis for 2 h at ∼500 °C, ∼10 °C min ^−1 heating rate. Fixed-carbon, ash, %CHNSO and volatile contents of biochar were characterized and compared with...
