Multi-parameter optimization of Mn(II) adsorption onto KOH-activated Pinus roxburghii biochar using Box-Behnken methodology
Manganese contamination in drinking water poses a significant environmental and public health concern, particularly in regions impacted by industrial discharges and geogenic leaching. This study investigates the potential of activated biochar derived from Pinus roxburghii pinecones (PCB), an abundant forestry residue,...
