Abstract Biochar-coupled Fe3O4@SiO2/TiO2/g-C3N4 composites were successfully constructed through simple sol–gel and calcination methods. The composites efficiently removed high-concentration toxic tetracycline (TC) by means of ·OH and ·O−2O2−, whose removal rate exhibited […]

Abstract Due to large specific surface area, abundant functional groups and low cost, biochar is widely used for pollutant removal. The adsorption performance of biochar is related to biochar synthesis […]

Abstract Biochar produced from pyrolysis of biomass has been developed as a platform carbonaceous material that can be used in various applications. The specific surface area (SSA) and functionalities such […]

Abstract Biochar (BC) has exhibited a great potential to remove water contaminants due to its wide availability of raw materials, high surface area, developed pore structure, and low cost. However, […]

Abstract Biochars produced from cotton gin waste (CG) and guayule bagasse (GB) were characterized and explored as potential adsorbents for the removal of pharmaceuticals (sulfapyridine-SPY, docusate-DCT and erythromycin-ETM) from aqueous […]

Abstract Rapid expansion of cultivated bamboo negatively impacts on biodiversity and soil microbial community. As such, it is important to properly manage and use bamboo to prevent and control such […]

Abstract Biochar, an environmentally friendly soil conditioner, is produced using several thermochemical processes. It has unique characteristics like high surface area, porosity, and surface charges. This paper reviews the fertilizer […]

Abstract One-pot chemical activation and pyrolysis process was developed for biochar production from red macroalgae residue of Gelidium sesquipedale. The macroalgae residue was activated by various catalysts (KOH, NaOH, H3PO4, […]
