Removal of organic contaminant from aqueous solution using magnetic biochar

In this study, raw biochar and magnetic biochar were prepared as adsorbent to remove 4-nitrotoluene from aqueous environment. Magnetic biochar (MB) was successfully synthesized by using raw biochar from palm kernel shell (PKS), ferrous chloride and ferric chloride for removal of 4-nitrotoluene. Ferr...
