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.

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.
