Summary

This review evaluated biochar technology as a method for removing microplastics from environmental matrices, assessing its adsorption capacity, mechanisms, and scalability as a remediation tool. Given that microplastics are toxic, persistent, and resistant to conventional treatment, biochar offers a promising low-cost intervention to reduce contamination in water and soil before particles enter the food chain.

In recent years, living world is severely threatened by the imminent issues of emergent pollutants. Microplastics (MPs) are one of the major emergent contaminants that possess properties toxic to any organism such as high rigidity, durable characteristics, and...
