abstract = "In this study corn cob hydrochar was investigated as potential material for
the biosorption process. The corn cob hydrochar obtained at different carbonization
temperatures (180, 200 and 220°C) were examined as potential adsorbent of Mn2+
from aqueous solution.
The adsorption capacity of corn cob hydrochar obtained at different carbonization
temperatures followed the decreasing order: 220°C > 200°C > 180°C
To enhance adsorption potential, hydrochar with best adsorption abilities obtained
at 220°C (HC) was subjected to cold alkaline modification. The modified
corn cob (M-HC) was prepared through a chemical treatment process using 2M
KOH solution. Preliminary results showed that the M-HC exhibited excellent adsorption
characteristics for Mn2+ removal from aqueous solution. The maximum
adsorption capacity (qmax) of M-HC and HC was 31.83 and 7.83 mg/g, respectively.
It can be concluded that modified corn cob hydrochar can be used as a lowcost,
eco-friendly and promising adsorbent with a good adsorption capacity for Mn
ions removal from aqueous solutions.",
