With the increase in population and wastewater generation, the management of solid by-
products, including sewage sludge (SS), has become a challenge. This article reviews …

Biochar, a product of biomass pyrolysis, is characterized by significant surface area,
porosity, high water holding capacity, and environmental persistence. It is perceived as a …

Various types of biochar have been widely used to remediate soil contamination from heavy
metals (HMs) and to reduce HM mobility and bioavailability in soils in recent years. Most …

The generation of sludge during wastewater treatment has drawn the attention of various
scientists on its toxicity and safety in lieu of its disposal in the environment. Source of sludge …

As a global pollution problem, heavy metal contamination poses a serious hazard to soil
microorganisms which play an extremely important role in soil chemical cycling and …

Sewage sludge (SS) has been connected to a variety of global environmental problems.
Assessing the risk of various disposal techniques can be quite useful in recommending …

Biochar has a large specific surface area, well-developed pore structure, abundant surface
