This study investigates the adsorptive properties of biochars derived from banana pseudostem (BP) and palm kernel shell for methylene blue (MB) removal. The biochars were prepared using a microwave-assisted method, resulting in unique surface characteristics. The BP-based biochar (BP-C) exhibits a h...
