Effective Removal of Congo Red by Triarrhena Biochar Loading with TiO(2) Nanoparticles

A composite of pyrolytic Triarrhena biochar loading with TiO(2) nanoparticles has been synthesized by the sol-gel method. The composite shows a well-developed hollow mesoporous and macropore structure as characterized by XRD, BET, and SEM. When used as an absorbent to remove Congo red from aqueous s...

Sumario:A composite of pyrolytic Triarrhena biochar loading with TiO(2) nanoparticles has been synthesized by the sol-gel method. The composite shows a well-developed hollow mesoporous and macropore structure as characterized by XRD, BET, and SEM. When used as an absorbent to remove Congo red from aqueous solution, it was found that as-prepared composite performed better absorption capacity than single biochar or TiO(2). The results suggest that biochar loading with TiO(2) could be promisingly implemented as an environmentally friendly and inexpensive adsorbent for Congo red removal from wastewater.
