Lead, a commonly found heavy metal in contaminated soil, is highly mobilized in acidic
conditions resulting to rapid soil leaching. This study investigated the effectiveness of …

Introduction: Today, soil pollution is an important environmental issue that should be taken
into account. Industrial activities cause pollution and accumulation of heavy metals in the …

This work focuses on the preparation of biochar and the study of the adsorption properties of
lead ions on it in water. CS (carbon wheat straw) was obtained by carbonizing 60 min at 300 …

Heavy metals pose a serious threat to both human and environmental health. As a result,
practical and low-cost strategies to remove them are urgently needed. Biochar is such a …

AbstractBackground and Objectives: Soil contamination with heavy metals has become a
global concern because of its adverse effects on ecosystem health and food security. Soil …

The removal of Pb2+ from wheat straw-derived biochar produced at 600° C was studied.
Proximate, Ultimate, FTIR, SEM, TG–DTA, and BET surface area analyses were carried out …

Water pollution by heavy metals has been a serious environmental concern. Conventional
treatment methods for the removal of these heavy metals from water may be expensive or …

Heavy metals are ubiquitous environmental pollutants to influence on changing the different
environmental compartments including air, water and soil. Due to the toxicity, persistence …

Referring to the oil and industrial development, contamination of water streams and soil by
heavy metals becomes severe issue. Biochar has consider as cheap and ecofriendly …

Studies on the adsorption of Pb (II) on plantain peels biochar (PPB) was conducted. The
carbonized and activated, biochar was characterized using Braunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) …
