Abstract:
In this work, biochar based phosphorus and nano-phosphorus was synthesized by biological method (stevia leaf). Their size, morphology and microstructure have been investigated by particle size analyzer, Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). The synthesized BBP (biochar based phosphorus) and BBNP (biochar based nano-phosphorus) was 87.6 and 110.8 nm in size, respectively and this was confirmed by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). Further, zeta potential of the synthesized BBP and BBNP were determined by DLS (Dynamic Light Scattering) analysis. The zeta potential of BBP was -30.1 mV and BBNP was 9.2 mV.
