Effect of nitric acid oxidation on the surface of hydrochars to sorb methylene blue: An adsorption mechanism comparison by Duy H Nguyen, Hai Nguyen Tran, Huan-Ping Chao, Chu-Ching Lin

“…Six adsorption mechanisms were elucidated, in which the electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonding were identified as the primary methylene blue-hydrochar adsorptive interaction; furthermore, because the nitric acid modification process enhanced oxygen- and nitrogen-containing functional groups and unsaturated bonds on the surface of oxidized-hydrochars, the π – π and n – π interaction became minor pathways for methylene blue adsorption onto oxidized-hydrochars. …”
