Wodyetia bifurcata biochar for methylene blue removal from aqueous matrix.

The endocarp of Wodyetia bifurcata was used to produce biochar by vacuum pyrolysis as an alternative adsorbent for methylene blue (MB) removal. The influence of different pyrolysis temperatures, particle diameters and activation agents in the adsorption process was studied. Kinetics and adsorption equilibrium were also evaluated.

Syagrus oleracea-activated carbon prepared by vacuum pyrolysis for methylene blue adsorption.

This work aims to produce activated carbon from the endocarp of Syagrus oleracea by vacuum pyrolysis and evaluate its potential as an adsorbent. The effects of pyrolysis temperature (400 °C, 500 °C, 600 °C, and 700 °C), particle diameter (0.467 mm, 0.
