Removal of heavy metals from the aqueous environment via physiochemical adsorption always remains a great challenge owing to the slow kinetics and low removal capacity for the conventional adsorbent. In this study, the sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB)-rich anaerobic sludge was pyrolyzed for the prepa...
