Biosorption of Pb(II) Ions through Nanostructured Teff Straw based Magnetized Activated Biocarbon: Aspects on Modeling, Optimization, and Kinetics

by Sugumar M. Bharathi S. Sampath V. Sundramurthy V.P. Selvaraju M. Kadaikunnan S. Khaled J.M.

Issue 9

Innovative environmental solutions

In this study, activated carbon (AC) was prepared from teff grass straw via chemical activation and microwave-assisted pyrolysis. The AC was modified by magnetization followed by it was characterized by particle size, FTIR, XRD , thermogravimetric study, pore size, and magnetic properties. Further...
