“…For constant initial dye concentration, with increasing the adsorbent dosage the interfacial tension between both phases increases and, as a consequence, the driving force for the mass transfer decreases, reducing in this way the adsorption capacity. It is worth noting that the high specific surface area and porosity of both biosorbents conferred a great removal efficiency of dye also at relatively low adsorbent dosages as stated by previous works [42][43][44][45].…”

“…Biochar has been employed in agricultural fields also for eliminating soil pollutants. Many agricultural residues have been utilized for producing biochar such as rice straw [ 48 ], wheat straw [ 49 ], waste wood [ 50 ], sugar beet tailings [ 51 ], corn cob [ 52 ], etc. These biomasses are composed of mostly cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin components.…”

“…In addition, H3PO4 provides an easier way to recover the carbon product during processing stage by rinsing with water (Yahya et al 2015). Compared with other activating compounds such as KOH (Mao et al 2015), ZnCl2 (Duan et al 2019), and K2CO3 (Mao et al 2020), it also gives higher yield of activated carbon and has non-toxic properties (Romero-Anaya et al 2012). The H3PO4 method has been used for almost 40 years.…”
