“…The prepared biochar demonstrated the maximum MB adsorption capacity of 427 mg g À1 . Moreover, biochar modified with phosphoric acid, a medium-strong acid, presents high adsorption capacity, but the preparation involves high-temperature pyrolysis (from 350°C to 1000°C) under nitrogen or argon flow (Al Bahri et al, 2012;Myglovets et al, 2014). Few studies have reported the preparation of biochar derived from eucalyptus saw dust modified with various organic acids at low activation temperatures for dye removal.…”
