Biochars are biological residues combusted under low oxygen conditions, resulting in a
porous, low density carbon rich material. Their large surface areas and cation exchange …

This paper provides an updated review on the subjects, the available alternative to produce
biochar from biomass, quantification and characterization of biochar, the adsorptive capacity …

The use of sewage sludge to produce biochar-based sorbents for per-and polyfluoroalkyl
substances (PFAS) removal from water and soil may be an economically and …

Research on the environmental impacts of black carbon has focused largely on sorption.
Besides being a strong geosorbent, black carbon is redox-active and may facilitate abiotic …

Organic pollutants in sediments are a worldwide problem because sediments act as sinks
for hydrophobic, recalcitrant and hazardous compounds. Depending on biogeochemical …

In this study, the suitability of biochar and activated carbon (AC) for contaminated soil
remediation is investigated by determining the sorption of pyrene to both materials in the …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are currently incorporated into various consumer products, and
numerous new applications and products containing CNTs are expected in the future. The …

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are one of the persistent organic pollutants (POPs) used
worldwide between the 1930 and 1980s. Many PCBs can still be found in the environment …

This paper discusses the sorbent properties of magnetic activated carbons and biochars
produced by wet impregnation with iron oxides. The sorbents had magnetic susceptibilities …

The possibility that electrodes might serve as an electron acceptor to simulate the
degradation of aromatic hydrocarbons in anaerobic contaminated sediments was …
