Multifunctional applications of biochar beyond carbon storage

International Materials Reviews, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 67(2), P. 150 - 200

Published: May 7, 2021

Biochar is produced as a charred material with high surface area and abundant functional groups by pyrolysis, which refers to the process of thermochemical decomposition organic at elevated temperatures in absence oxygen. The carbon component biochar relatively stable, and, hence, was originally proposed soil amendment store soil. has multifunctional values that include use it for following purposes: improve health, nutrient microbial carrier, immobilising agent remediation toxic metals contaminants water, catalyst industrial applications, porous mitigating greenhouse gas emissions odorous compounds, feed supplement animal health intake efficiency thus, productivity. This article provides first time an overview unintended consequences applications.

Pesticides pollution: Classifications, human health impact, extraction and treatment techniques

The Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Research, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 46(3), P. 207 - 220

Published: Sept. 1, 2020

The word "pesticides" is a complex that encompasses all compounds are applied to destroy or regulate pests; this includes insecticides (insects), herbicides (weeds) and fungicides (fungi). One of the primary sponsors green revolution was finding ways improve use safe pesticides control wide range herbal insect pests, which affect negatively quantity quality world food production. This review provides an analysis pesticides' definition, classifications, toxicity, factors affecting in water resources, their environmental fate, impacts on human health methods detection, disposal treatment. Moreover, work gives brief description extraction used for besides comparing analytical techniques measure very low concentration pesticides. Finally, suggests find further alternative identify pesticide residues other highly hazardous pollutants.

Biochar for the removal of contaminants from soil and water: a review

Biochar, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 4(1)

Published: March 15, 2022

Abstract Biochar shows significant potential to serve as a globally applicable material remediate water and soil owing the extensive availability of feedstocks conducive physio-chemical surface characteristics. This review aims highlight biochar production technologies, characteristics biochar, latest advancements in immobilizing eliminating heavy metal ions organic pollutants water. Pyrolysis temperature, heat transfer rate, residence time, type feedstock are critical influential parameters. Biochar’s efficacy managing contaminants relies on pore size distribution, groups, ion-exchange capacity. The molecular composition physical architecture may be crucial when practically applied soil. In general, produced at relatively high pyrolysis temperatures can effectively manage via increasing area, hydrophobicity microporosity. generated lower is deemed more suitable for removing polar inorganic through oxygen-containing functional precipitation electrostatic attraction. also presents existing obstacles future research direction related biochar-based materials effluents Graphical

Impact of Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) Modification on Its Application to Pollution Treatment—A Review

Catalysts, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 10(7), P. 804 - 804

Published: July 20, 2020

A high-efficiency method to deal with pollutants must be found because environmental problems are becoming more serious. Photocatalytic oxidation technology as the environmentally-friendly treatment can completely oxidate organic into pollution-free small-molecule inorganic substances without causing secondary pollution. As a widely used photocatalyst, titanium dioxide (TiO2) greatly improve degradation efficiency of pollutants, but several noted in its practical application. TiO2 modified by different materials has received extensive attention field photocatalysis excellent physical and chemical properties compared pure TiO2. In this review, we discuss use for modification, highlighting recent developments synthesis application composites using materials. Materials discussed article divided nonmetallic metallic. Mechanisms how catalytic performance after modification discussed, future development is prospected.
