Base and metal pretreatment experiments

Periodic table of the elements.

Figure 4.21 (below) displays results from rapid batch tests (three-hour contact time) for removing SMX from model surface water (expressed as adsorbent dose-75% values) using biochars made from untreated pine sawdust, pine sawdust treated with base solution at pH 9 or pH 11, and pine sawdust treated with base solution at p…
