• Synthesis, characterisation and methyl orange adsorption capacity of ferric oxide–biochar nano-composites derived from pulp and paper sludge (2017, background): “Earlier studies have shown that non-activated biowastes such as agro-processing wastes may be used as adsorbents (Amuda et al. 2007; Mohan and Pittman 2007; Osman et al. 2010; Pellera et al. 2011; Rita 2012; Mohan et al. 2014).”
• A novel method to tailor the porous structure of KOH-activated biochar and its application in capacitive deionization and energy storage. (2016, background): “Producing AC from waste and by-products gained attention since availability of low-cost precursors is necessary for the economic feasibility of large scale AC production [5,20,21].”

• Adsorption Studies of Coconut Shell Carbons Prepared by KOH Activation for Removal of Lead(II) From Aqueous Solutions (2013, background): “It takes about 2 h to reach adsorption equilibrium for CSC-B, while about 4h for CSC-A, which can be explained due to the fact that high binding sites derived from high surface area shorten the time to reach equilibrium [22].”
• Removal of lead from water using biochars prepared from hydrothermal liquefaction of biomass. (2009, unknown): “The promising results were obtained when carbonaceous material prepared from coconut shell was utilized as adsorbent for wastewater treatment [10].”
