Article Synopsis
- - The study explored two methods for removing rhodamine B from water: adsorption using biochar from olive stones (OSB), achieving a 97.79% removal rate, and coagulation-flocculation with FeCl, which performed best at a dosage of 2000 mg/L and pH of 2.
- - The adsorption process using OSB was found to be spontaneous and beneficial, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 11.82 mg/g and the ability to reuse the biochar for four cycles.
- - A combined method utilizing both coagulation-flocculation and adsorption was tested, leading to improved removal efficiency compared to either method alone, highlighting the advantages of integrating the two processes.
Agricultural waste-based biochars for sustainable removal of heavy metals from stabilized landfill leachate.

In this work, biochars were used as adsorbents to remove Cu, Cd, and Zn ions in a real stabilized leachate from a controlled landfill. Oak fruit shells biochar (OFSBC) and date palm fibers biochar (DPFBC) were obtained by pyrolysis of oak fruit shells and date palm fibers at 700 °C and 400 °C, respectively. OFSBC and DPFBC showed well-developed structures and high specific surface areas (520.
