Iron Modification of Biochar Developed from Tectona grandis Linn. F. for Adsorptive Removal of Tetracycline from Aqueous Solution
Abstract
Abstract Iron-modified biochar was prepared using woody biomass of Tectona grandis Linn f. for the removal of tetracycline from an aqueous solution. The prepared biochar was characterized by Fourier transformed infra-red spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscope, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The FTIR results showed predominant peaks that confirm the alignment of iron oxide on the surface of the biochar. Similarly, the surface of the iron-modified biochar constitutes a graphite...
