if you activate you biochar, what does happen to the surface?

This is the question. you should 1st understand, and then you can work with your adsorpitons hypothesis

Harmanpreet Singh

In general, you should consider the pH at max removal efficiency for practical applications, but also take PZC into account to understand the overall behavior of your system.
