Abstract:The cupric ion is toxic for humans and is contained in many industrial wastewater that should be effectively removed with adsorption before discharging into the natural water source. In this study, pineapple pulp was obtained from canned pineapple juice manufacturing for drying (DPP) and carbonization (CPP) for 2 h. at 400 °C as the fine biochar adsorbents. The specific surface area of DPP and CPP were 45.3 and 60.2 m2/g, respectively. A high surface area of the carbonized pineapple pulp as a fine adsorbent wa… Show more
