Summary

This review examined the use of agricultural waste-derived biochars and biochar composites as sustainable sorbents for microplastic removal from wastewater. Researchers summarised how engineered biochars produced from crop residues and other agricultural biowaste can be functionalized to achieve efficient microplastic remediation, offering a circular economy approach to both waste valorisation and pollution control.

Study Type Environmental

Sustainable transformation of agricultural biowaste into next-generation biochars engineered for efficient microplastic remediation.
