Heavy metal pollution in soil and water has presented a new challenge for the
environmental remediation technology. Nano zero valent iron (nZVI) has excellent …

Soil microorganisms play crucial roles in soil nutrient cycling, carbon sequestration, fertility
maintenance and crop health and production. To date, the responses of microorganisms …

Biochar has attracted increasing attention in water pollution control, attributed to its various
merits, eg, tunable physico-chemical properties. The oxygenated functional groups (OFGs) …

The promising characteristics of nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) have not been fully
exploited owing to intrinsic limitations. Carbon-enriched biochar (BC) has been widely used …

Herein, biochar was prepared using rice straw, and it served as the peroxymonosulfate
(PMS) activator to degrade naphthalene (NAP). The results showed that pyrolysis …

Electroactive Fe-biochar has attracted significant attention for As (III)/Cr (VI) immobilization
through redox reactions, and its performance essentially lies in the regulation of various …

Biochar is the pyrolysis product of biomass that has been explored as an effective adsorbent
for its high specific surface area, large porosity, and numerous surface functional groups …

Chromium (Cr) is one of the most toxic pollutants that has accumulated in terrestrial and
aqueous systems, posing serious risks towards living beings on a worldwide scale. The …

Over the past decade, biochar-supported nZVI composites (nZVI/biochar) have been
developed and applied to treat various pollutants due to their excellent physical and …

Abstract Biochar/iron (BC/Fe) composites, such as nano zero-valent iron (nZVI)/BC, iron
sulfide/BC, and iron oxide/BC, have been developed and applied to deal with various …
