Engineering Pine Wood Biochar via Steam Activation for Enhanced Methylene Blue Adsorption: Linking Surface Reconstruction to Adsorption Performance

The widespread use of methylene blue (MB) has contributed to water pollution. This study evaluates steam-activated pine wood biochar for efficient MB removal from aqueous solutions. Biochar samples were produced by pyrolysis at temperatures ranging from 400 to 850 °C (BC4–BC8.5),...
