Abstract

In this chapter, response to the elimination from their water flows of carbofuran was checked by the dried capsicum annuam biochar (CABC). Char at 300 °C is produced from capsicum annuam stem to eradicate carbofuran from the watershed system. Capsicum annuam (CA) and capsicum annuam biochar (CABC) were tested for their physicochemical characteristics. The experiments were performed for different carbofuran concentrations, with varying CABC dosages, pH values, and adsorption time. Different isotherms and kinetic models were investigated to determine the adsorption equilibrium.
