Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the adsorption properties of biochar and activated biochar made from pequi endocarp to treat water pollution, specifically analyzing its effectiveness on blue methylene dye.
- The biochar was extensively characterized using various techniques (FTIR, SEM, XRD, TG) to evaluate its structural and surface properties before and after dye adsorption.
- Results indicated that the activated biochar had superior adsorption capabilities, losing less mass and exhibiting significant adsorption rates, making it a promising solution for dye removal in contaminated water.
