Carbazole (CBZ) is a hazardous heterocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (HAH) that pollutes water bodies, and the treatment remains a challenge due to its high persistence in the environment. This study chemically modified rice husk biochar (RHB) with starch derivative (DS) to develop an effective adsorbe...
