Removal of Zn (II) and Cu (II) Ions from Industrial Wastewaters Using Magnetic Biochar Derived from Water Hyacinth

This study evaluates the effectiveness of magnetic biochar (Fe2O3-EC) derived from water hyacinth in the removal of Cu+2 and Zn+2 from aqueous solution. Fe2O3-EC was prepared by chemical coprecipitation of a mixture of FeCl2 and FeCl3 on water hyacinth biomass followed by pyrolysis. The adsorbent wa...
