Although municipal solid waste (MSW) has a potential risk for human health and ecological
environment, it is gradually considered as one of the most renewable resources. To …

In the last decade, biochar (BC) has attracted significant attention for the removal of
pollutants from aqueous solutions. Biochar exhibits many distinctive characteristics that …

Currently, the research and application of biochar in the remediation of heavy metal
contaminated soil has become a hotspot, especially regarding the remediation of …

Biochar can be used as a sorbent to remove inorganic pollutants from water but the
efficiency of sorption can be improved by activation or modification. This review evaluates …

The use of biochar has been suggested as a means of remediating contaminated soil and
water. The practical applications of conventional biochar for contaminant immobilization and …

Synthesizing biochar-based nano-composites can obtain new composites and combine the
advantages of biochar with nano-materials. The resulting composites usually exhibit great …

Biochar is a low-cost, porous, and carbon-rich material and it exhibits a great potential as an
adsorbent and a supporting matrix due to its high surface activity, high specific surface area …

Excessive discharge of phosphate (P) into the surface water is the key factor to cause the
eutrophication, so its removal has aroused much attention in recent years. In this study …

Mg/Al ratio plays a significant role for anion adsorption by Mg/Al-layered double hydroxides
(Mg/Al-LDHs) modified biochar. In this study, Mg/Al-LDHs biochar with different Mg/Al ratios …
