Biochar is a carbon-rich material which can be prepared from various organic waste
feedstock, such as agricultural wastes and municipal sewage sludge. Biochar has received …

Emerging contaminants have recently been recognized as new and significant water
pollutants and gained great of concerns because of their considerable effects on …

The science-informed design of 'green'carbonaceous materials (eg, biochar and activated
carbon) with high removal capacity of recalcitrant organic contaminants (eg …

This study explored the impact of pyrolysis parameters and modification methods on the
characteristics of pharmaceutical sludge biochar, and investigated its capacity and …

In this study, cow dung biomass was converted into biochar (BC). BC900 was obtained
through one-step pyrolysis at 900° C, while BC700–900 and BC900–700 were obtained via …

To enhance the sorption efficiency of heavy metals by modified biochar, biochars derived
from pig manure at different pyrolyzing temperatures (300° C, 500° C and 700° C) were …

Petroleum leakages can seriously damage the soil environment and cause a persistent
harm to human health, due to the release of heavy oil pollutants with a high viscosity and …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are known as a hazardous group of pollutants in
the soil which causes many challenges to the environment. In this study, the potential of …

Competitive sorption of sulfamethazine (SMT), sulfamethoxazole (SMX), sulfathiazole (STZ)
and chloramphenicol (CP) toward functionalized biochar (fBC) was highly pH dependent …

Biochar (BC) is a good adsorbent with high porosity, high specific surface area, and
abundant functional groups. However, it exhibits poor phosphate (P) adsorption due to its …
