Biochars have been successfully used to treat wastewater and contaminated soils. The efficiency of biochar as a biosorbent of heavy metals can be increased by reducing the particle size, exposing the inner pores and their functional groups. In this study, the empty fruit bunch biochar (EFBB) of oil...
