Activated Biochar from Gracilaria Edulis Seaweeds: A Novel Biosorbent for Efficient Uranium Ion Removal in Wastewater Treatment

by Titus S. Karthick L. Kiruba S. Srithar A. Kumar H. Karuna M.

Water and Wastewater Treatment

The biosorption of uranium ions was explored through batch studies employing activated biochar derived from Gracilaria Edulis seaweeds. A chemical synthesis approach utilizing concentrated sulfuric acid created and activated the adsorbent material. SEM and FTIR measurements were used to characterize...
