Summary

This study investigated agricultural waste-derived biochar as a low-cost adsorbent for removing microplastics from water and wastewater, evaluating its effectiveness as an emerging treatment approach. Biochar offers a sustainable, circular-economy solution for microplastic removal by converting agricultural residues into functional treatment materials, potentially reducing costs compared to conventional engineered sorbents.

Study Type Environmental

Microplastics (MP), an emerging contaminant, have attracted attention all over the world for their increased pollution in the air, water, and soil biota, which in the long run causes ecotoxicological effects as well. Water and Wastewater treatment plants have...
