Resumo
Biochar (BC) is a carbon-rich product obtained when biomass is thermally decomposed at relatively low temperatures (under 700ºC) and limited supply of oxygen in a process called pyrolysis. Because of its porous structure, charged sur-face and surface functional groups, BC exhibits a great potential as an adsorbent. Its characteristics strongly depend on the feedstock and the pyrolysis conditions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the adsorption potential for the remov-al of uranium, U(VI) from aqueous solutions using BC obtained through slow pyrolysis of the macauba coconut endo-carp. The influence of parameters such as pH, sorbent dose and initial concentration on the adsorption of U(VI) was investigated. The BC obtained at 350 °C (BC350) presented a removal percentage of approx. 80 %, demonstrating its applicability for the treatment of uranium contaminated aqueous solutions.
