Evaluating Biochar's Role in Dye Adsorption and Wheat Performance Under Saline Conditions.

ABSTRACT: This research explores the dual role of biochar in addressing the escalating challenges of water salinity and pollution, focusing on its potential for both wastewater treatment and agricultural resilience. We investigated the adsorption capacity and efficiency of various biochar treatments to remove crystal violet dye from contaminated water. Biochar treated with H₂SO₄ demonstrated the highest adsorption capacity (450 mg/g). It consistently achieved 100% removal efficiency in all crystal violet concentrations tested, while silver-modified biochar showed a 99.95% removal rate at 50 ppm and an adsorption capacity of 5 mg/g. In agricultural applications, we evaluated the impact of biochar applications at concentrations of 1% and 3% on wheat crops irrigated with saline wa
