Biochars (BCs) are very versatile adsorbents, mainly, in the effectiveness of adsorption of organic and inorganic compounds in aqueous solutions. Here, the sugarcane biomass (SCB) was used to produce biochar at different carbonization times: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 h, denominated as BC1, BC2, BC3, BC4, an...
