In this study, biochars were produced from by-products of the herbal industry, specifically fennel seeds (), through direct activation by carbon dioxide at two different temperatures. The biochar samples were comprehensively analysed. Additionally, adsorption studies were conducted for methylene blue.

In this study carbon adsorbents were produced from caraway (Carum carvi L.) seeds, through direct and physical activation by carbon dioxide. The resulting biochar adsorbents were analyzed using low-temperature nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms and Boehm titration.

In this study, fennel () seeds were used as a precursor to obtain carbon adsorbents through physical activation with carbon dioxide and chemical activation by impregnating the precursor with sodium carbonate. The physical activation involved the carbonization of the precursor at a temperature of 600 °C for 60 min and activation at a temperature of 800 °C for 30 min with carbon dioxide. Chemical activation included impregnation of the precursor with sodium carbonate at a mass ratio of a precursor to activator of 1:2.

In this study, activated carbons were produced through the chemical activation of caraway seeds using three different activators: NaCO, KCO, and HPO. A 1:2 weight ratio of precursor to activator was maintained in every instance. Comprehensive analyses were conducted on the resultant activated carbons, including elemental analysis, textural parameters determination, Boehm titration for surface oxygen functional groups, pH assessment of aqueous extracts, and quantification of ash content.

The aim of this study was to prepare biocarbons by biomass activation with carbon(IV) oxide. Fennel and caraway fruits were used as the precursors of bioadsorbents. The impact of the precursor type and temperature of activation on the physicochemical properties of the obtained biocarbons and their interaction with methyl red sodium salt upon adsorption process have been checked.
