Pine sawdust biochars produced at 300 and 550 °C with and without steam activation were assessed for its sorption capacity for phosphate and copper (Cu (II)) in aqueous solutions using batch sorption experiments, including isotherm and kinetic studies. This study implied that pine sawdust biochars produced at 550 °C have a large potential to remove Cu (II) from aqueous solutions while had all the four biochars had low affinity for phosphate.
