Abstract

     The aim of this research is to remove copper ion from water by biochar. The biochar were prepared by pyrolysis process using corncob and fired at 850oC  in low oxygen atmosphere. The biochar were characterized by SEM, EDS and XRD.                                                                                                                     The results showed graphite and carbon crystalline and pore size about 10-15 μm. The biochars were crushed by hammer mill and separate size by sieve for 3 ranges (105 - 149, 149 - 177 and  177 - 210 μm) and dipped in the copper solution for 5-60 minute.  The saturated copper absorption times of all size were about 1 5 minute. The maximum absorption rate is 0.8 mg/gmin by the size range 105-149 μm.
