Mass Transport of Heavy Metals in Soil Columns Amended with Biochar Nanoparticles
Abstract: Biochar has potential as a valuable material for removing heavy metals from wastewater. The biochar obtained by pyrolysis of the Pomegranate Peel (PPBC) under an oxygen-limited atmosphere in a muffle furnace at 450°C. The biochar was also analyzed through SEM and FTIR for identification of particle size and functional groups. Therefore, the present work aims to study the effect of adding biochar to the soil columns (10 cm length and …
