In the context of climate change and the circular economy, biochar has recently found many
applications in various sectors as a versatile and recycled material. Here, we review …

Biochar is considered to be the cost-effective, environmentally-friendly and sustainable
sorbent that has an extraordinary potential to efficiently remove toxic elements, including …

Recently, biochar has received significant attention, especially for the removal of potentially
toxic elements (PTEs) from water and wastewater. No review has been focused on the …

In this study, we examined the removal of arsenite (As (III)) and arsenate (As (V)) by perilla
leaf-derived biochars produced at 300 and 700° C (referred as BC300 and BC700) in …

A majority of water pollution or contamination occurs through the discharge of effluents from
industries. Wastewater treatment is crucial to protect our water sources from harmful …

Abstract 'Background'is the concentration of metals in pristine sediment, unaltered by human
activity and 'enrichment'is the extent present-day sediment metal concentrations exceed pre …

Clay minerals are very common in nature and highly reactive minerals which are typical
products of the weathering of the most abundant silicate minerals on the planet. Over recent …

In this study, we examined the sorption of arsenite (As (III)) and arsenate (As (V)) to
Japanese oak wood-derived biochar (OW-BC) in aqueous solutions, and determined its …

In the present study, we examined sorption of chromate (Cr (VI)) to acid-activated banana
peel (AABP) and organo-montmorillonite (O-mont) as a function of pH, initial Cr (VI) …

Arsenic (As) is classified as a Class A human carcinogen and has gained a substantial
attention in recent years owing to its high levels currently observed in the environment and …
