Application
Description This project reviews the use of biochar derived from fruit by-products through pyrolysis to remove Pb(II) ions from wastewater. It explores the preparation of biochar, its adsorption capacity for heavy metals, and the mechanisms involved in the process. The study highlights the potential of fruit waste as a low-cost, eco-friendly adsorbent for environmental cleanup. It also discusses the regeneration performance of biochar for repeated use in pollution control.
Pathway Description: The process used in this project involves converting fruit waste into biochar through pyrolysis. The fruit waste, such as peels and seeds, undergoes thermal decomposition in a low-oxygen environment, forming biochar. This biochar is then used as an adsorbent to remove Pb(II) ions from contaminated water. The adsorption effectiveness is evaluated through various models, and the biochar can also be regenerated for repeated use.
