Optimization of the Porosity of Biochar Produced from Date Stones using Full Factorial Design
Description
Biochar is a low-cost material that has found
wide applications as an adsorbent for the removal of
various pollutants. The aim of this study is to evaluate
the porosity of biochar derived from agricultural solid
wastes such as date stones. For this reason, this research
focused on the optimization of the factors influencing the
preparation of biochar by pyrolysis using experimental
designs. The
two factors were taken into account in the two-level
complete factorial plan used for optimization. The
experimental responses studied were the yield of
biochar, the iodine adsorption (I2), and the methylene
blue (MB) adsorption indexes.
