Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The paper substantially is performing all requirements which are being put for examinations of this type. The research aims put in the article is correct and with clear argumentation. The construction of figures and tables do not create objections. All tables and figures include the main results that have been used in the article. They are graphically very readable.

The presentation of Results is logical and put in order so without the problem it can be watch progress of research data.

Discussion is complete, and it is establishing at put earlier aims of the work and is very well supported by the Results. But still I would invite the authors to aim for more synthesis of their findings and clarify the specific scientific contribution of their work in light of the literature. Short final conclusions are very useful.

References used in the article were correctly selected to presented problems.

Reviewer 2 Report

The manuscript report the concept of Biochar floating that influence on water pH using tap water and deionised water. The abstract is written appropriately for the summary of the study. Introduction described clearly background and the objectives of the present study. Materials and methods are sound to get the right results. The results are well presented and appropriately discussed. It is recommended for the acceptance.
