Removal of ²⁴¹Am from Aqueous Solutions by Adsorption on Sponge Gourd Biochar. [PDF]

Molecules, 2023
Luffa cylindrica biomass was converted to biochar and the removal of 241Am by pristine and oxidized biochar fibers was investigated in laboratory and environmental water samples. This species has the added advantage of a unique microsponge structure that is beneficial for the production of porous adsorbents.
