Equilibrium, kinetic, and thermodynamic studies on biosorption of Cd(II) from aqueous solution by biochar

The present investigation describes the use of biochar derived from an agricultural waste: the maize cob for the biosorption of Cd(II) ion. The biochar was characterized using scanning electron microscopy, surface area analysis, and Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy. Batch experiments were pe...
