Characterization and application of chars produced from pinewood pyrolysis and hydrothermal treatment
TLDR
Two types of pinewood chars, hydrothermal char (H300) and pyrolytic char (P700) from biomass-to-energy conversion were characterized and used as adsorbent for the copper removal from aqueous solution as discussed by the authors.About:

Single- and multi-component adsorption of cadmium and zinc using activated carbon derived from bagasse--an agricultural waste.
Dinesh Mohan,Kunwar P. Singh +1 more
TL;DR: Activated carbon derived from bagasse, an agricultural waste material, has been investigated as a replacement for the current expensive methods of removing heavy metals from wastewater and it was concluded that the adsorption occurs through a film diffusion mechanism at low as well as at higher concentrations.

Chemical Identification of Surface Groups
TL;DR: The surface properties of a surface are influenced by the surface groups and the knowledge of their existence and of their chemistry are important for many technological processes as mentioned in this paper, which is why it is important to have knowledge of these surface groups.

Sorption of arsenic, cadmium, and lead by chars produced from fast pyrolysis of wood and bark during bio-oil production
Dinesh Mohan,Charles U. Pittman,Mark Bricka,Fran Smith,Ben Yancey,Javeed Mohammad,Philip H. Steele,María Alexandre-Franco,Vicente Gómez-Serrano,Henry Gong +9 more
TL;DR: Oak bark out-performed the other chars and nearly mimicked Calgon F-400 adsorption for lead and cadmium, and the oak bark char's ability to remove Pb(II) and Cd( II) is remarkable when considered in terms of the amount of metal adsorbed per unit surface area.
