Low cost adsorbents are essential for aqueous contaminants removal in developing countries. Biochars and engineered biochars provide a sustainable solution. This webinar presents the development, characterization and application of biochars. Developed biochars provide excellent sorption capacity for ciprofloxacin and acetaminophen sorption. Magnetization of biochar enhanced sorption capacity several times. Thus, biochars developed from locally available abundant waste materials can be a sustainable solution.
