Activation of peroxymonosulfate by(sunlight)FeCl3-modified biochar for efficient degradation of contaminants of emerging concern: Comparison with H2O2 and effect of microplastics
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers investigated how microplastics affect the ability of iron-modified biochar to break down emerging contaminants in wastewater when activated by peroxymonosulfate and sunlight. Surprisingly, they found that the presence of microplastics actually enhanced the treatment efficiency by up to 42%. The study demonstrates that the coexistence of microplastics and biochar in wastewater can influence the effectiveness of advanced oxidation treatment processes.
Biochar and Biopolymer Based Nanomaterials for Microplastic Remediation: A Sustainable Approach for Environment
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed biochar and biopolymer-based materials as sustainable microplastic remediation strategies, finding that materials like chitosan nanofiber sponges, graphene oxide-chitin composites, and metal-modified biochar achieve high removal efficiency through mechanisms including adsorption, electrostatic interaction, and physical entrapment, offering eco-friendly alternatives to conventional treatment methods.
Removal of Emerging Contaminants Microplastics by Using Biochar Technology, a Review
AI summary Read the abstract
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.
Removal of Microplastics from Water by Using Agro-Waste Biochar
AI summary Read the abstract
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.
Urban wastewater disinfection by FeCl3-activated biochar/peroxymonosulfate system: Escherichia coli inactivation and microplastics interference
AI summary Read the abstract
This study evaluated FeCl3-activated biochar combined with peroxymonosulfate as a system for urban wastewater disinfection, assessing pathogen removal efficiency and identifying reactive species responsible for bacterial inactivation.
