Abstract : Biochar is a low-cost material that has found wide applications as an adsorbent for the removal of various pollutants. The aim of this study is to evaluate the porosity of biochar derived from agricultural solid wastes such as date stones. For this reason, this research focused on the optimization of the factors influencing the preparation of biochar by pyrolysis using experimental designs. The two factors were taken into account in the two-level complete factorial plan used for optimization. The experimental responses studied were the yield of biochar, the iodine adsorption (I2), and the methylene blue (MB) adsorption indexes.

Keywords : Biochar; Pyrolysis; Agricultural solid wastes; Characterization; Adsorption.
