The present investigation describes the applicability of biochar of pine-fruit residue (PFR) as a novel adsorbent for Cd 2+ adsorption in the packed-bed system. Biochar was characterised for surface properties using BET surface area, Boehm titration, FT-IR and a scanning electron microscopy (SEM). E...
