Abstract

A Fe 2 O 3 –biochar nano-composite (Fe 2 O 3 –BC) was prepared from FeCl 3 -impregnated pulp and paper sludge (PPS) by pyrolysis at 750 °C. The characteristics and methyl orange (MO) adsorption capacity of Fe 2 O 3 –BC were compared to that of unactivated biochar (BC). X-ray diffraction (XRD) and sc...
