Zinc removal from wastewater using hydrogel modified biochar

In this study, hydrogel-(rice husk) biochar composite (HBC-RH) was prepared using acrylamide (AAm) as monomer, with N.N’-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as crosslinker, ammonium persulfate (APS) as initiator and rice husk biochar (RHB). The synthesized hydrogel-(rice husk) biochar composite was charact...
