Synthesis and efficiency comparison of reed straw-based biochar as a mesoporous adsorbent for ionic dyes removal
The reed straw is assessed as a potential source of widely available renewable biomass for biochar production and compared with two other waste-based biomasses, namely fruit stones blend, and brewery spent Platform Base grains.The biochars were activated via steam and CO2.While steam activation yielded 12 % carbon from reed biomass, CO2 activation
