“…However, these techniques have some disadvantages and limitations, such as high cost [9], generation of secondary pollutants, and intensive energy requirements. Although adsorption processes using activated carbons have been found to be effective in the treatment of these waste waters [10,11], the preparation and regeneration of activated carbons are relatively costly, thus limiting their application. Therefore, interest in the production of activated carbons from low-cost organic waste materials for dye removal has increased considerably.…”

Banana peel-activated carbon (BPAC) with a very high surface area of 1,950 m 2 g -1 was prepared and investigated for the removal of methylene blue (MB) or Orange II dye molecules from aqueous solutions. Results of adsorption experiments showed that the BPAC exhibited high adsorption capacity with cationic dyes. The maximal Orange II and MB uptakes were determined to be more than 333 and 1,263 mg g -1 , respectively. The zeta-potential analysis revealed that surface charge of BPAC is negative and hence the present activated carbon is excellent for adsorption of MB cationic dye from water. The adsorption equilibrium, kinetics, and thermodynamics of MB dye were investigated and the results indicated a monolayer chemical adsorption involving electrostatic attraction. BPAC was found to be a highly promising material for the effective removal of cationic contaminants such as MB dye from water.

“…Other studies have shown that addition of activated carbon to restored grasslands can reduce the establishment of exotic weeds in these fields by affecting soil biota or by absorbing allelochemicals (Callaway 2000, Kulmatiski 2011). Biochar addition may also affect such soil conditions, depending on its availability, although the effects of activated carbon may not be directly translated to potential effects of biochar, as activated carbon often has a higher absorbing capacity and contains less nutrients (Angın et al 2013).…”

Abstract. Biochar (pyrolyzed biomass) amendment to soils has been shown to have a multitude of positive effects, e.g., on crop yield, soil quality, nutrient cycling, and carbon sequestration. So far the majority of studies have focused on agricultural systems, typically with relatively low species diversity and annual cropping schemes. How biochar amendment affects plant communities in more complex and diverse ecosystems that can evolve over time is largely unknown. We investigated such effects in a field experiment at a Dutch nature restoration area.In April 2011, we set up an experiment using biochar produced from cuttings collected from a local natural grassland. The material was pyrolyzed at 4008C or at 6008C. After biochar or residue (non-pyrolyzed cuttings) application (10 Mg/ha), all plots, including control (0 Mg/ ha) plots, were sown with an 18-species grassland mixture. In August 2011, we determined characteristics of the developed plant community, as well as soil nutrient status.Biochar amendment did not alter total plant productivity, but it had a strong and significant effect on plant community composition. Legumes were three times as abundant and individual legume plants increased four times in biomass in plots that received biochar as compared to the control treatment. Biomass of the most abundant forb (Plantago lanceolata) was not affected by biochar addition. Available phosphorous, potassium, and pH were significantly higher in soils that received biochar than in Control soils. The rate of biological nitrogen fixation and seed germination were not altered by biochar amendment, but the total amount of biological N fixed per Trifolium pratense (red clover) plant was more than four times greater in biochar-amended soil.This study demonstrates that biochar amendment has a strong and rapid effect on plant communities and soil nutrients. Over time these changes may cascade up to other trophic groups, including above-and belowground organisms. Our results emphasize the need for long-term studies that examine not only the short-term effects of biochar amendment, but also follow how these effects evolve over time and affect ecosystem functioning.
