Due to increased industrialization and urbanization, chromium (Cr) has been commonly used and released to the environment in a variety of industrial activities.
Removal of antibiotics and non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) from aqueous ecosystem
is a serious concern due to their extensive usage and
resulting the adverse effects on human and ecological
health. Biochar
Water contamination by oxyanions can be considered
as a major environment problem. Biochar (BC) is a
carbon rich porous material produced via biomass
pyrolysis under limited oxygen condition. Biochar has
been widely ...
Biochar (BC) is a ubiquitous, porous, carbonaceous
solid produced by the pyrolysis of biomass under
anaerobic conditions, which can be used as a fuel as well
as an adsorbent. Although the potential use of biochar
in ...
Remediation of waste water containing hazardous
dyes using biochar (BC), as an adsorption technique,
is a cost effective and efficient method. As a statistical
approach, this study was focused on how feedstocks,
pyrolysis ...
