“…The decrease in TDS observed can be attributed to the adsorption process occurring on the biochar. This phenomenon aligns with findings from recent studies that have successfully utilized adsorption using a neem seed powder adsorbent to remove DS from wastewater [34]. The biochar's ability to adsorb and trap these dissolved solids is a promising aspect of this research, indicating its potential as an effective treatment method for reducing TDS levels in water.…”
