Water contamination is a ubiquitous issue for all countries and territories worldwide. Among others, pesticides, drugs, heavy metals, phosphates play special role in terms of pollutants due to their toxicity large-scale applications industrial agricultural activities. In order provide cleaner freshwater the world’s population, two types actions are required: preventing/limiting pollution that might occur during our daily activities decontaminating already exposed/contaminated water sources. One key points decontamination process create as few possible side effects with solutions applied. For this reason, case mentioned but not limited only them, use environmentally friendly materials more than welcome. Biochar qualifies one these materials, its field expands larger scientific areas every day. Moreover, it can be functionalized improve properties pollutant removal efficiency. This paper summarizes most recent developments using biochar or biochar-based remove from contaminated aqueous environments. Also, phosphorus wastewater considered. controlling factor wastewater, which obtained residual Indeed, excessive chemical fertilizers, eutrophication such kinds serious challenge.

The excessive application of dairy manure to soils supply plant nutrients can result in increased offsite nutrient transport and degraded water quality. However, by concentrating from dairy-waste onto biochar or as biosolids, a viable alternative fertilizer be produced that will benefit soil health, promote carbon sequestration, decrease leaching into surface waters. In this study, greenhouse experiment was conducted assess phosphorus (P) speciation barley growth amended with treated fermented manure. Phosphorus characterization the post-harvest determined using selective extractions, 31 P-NMR XANES spectroscopy, isotopic tracing (P-δ 18 O). Selective extractions NMR spectroscopy revealed most P occurred inorganic species (>85%). further showed either calcium-P minerals (54%–87%) adsorbed (0%–46%) species. Analysis P-δ O sodium bicarbonate water-extracted pool is cycled much faster than extracted P. Although less 10% total dairy-derived bioproducts water, productivity these amendments same equivalent amounts conventional nitrogen fertilizer. This suggests are good limit leaching.

Iron-ozone catalytic oxidation (CatOx) shows promise in addressing challenging wastewater pollutants. This study investigates a CatOx reactive filtration (Fe-CatOx-RF) approach with two 0.4 L/s field pilot studies and an 18-month, 18 full-scale municipal deployment. We apply ozone to leverage common sand iron metal salts used water treatment into next-generation technology. The process combines micropollutant pathogen destructive removal high-efficiency phosphorus recycling as soil amendment, clean recovery, the potential for carbon-negative operation integrated biochar treatment. A key innovation is converting continuously renewed oxide coated, moving bed filter "sacrificial iron" d-orbital catalyst after adding O3 stream. Results Fe-CatOx-RF show >95% efficiencies almost all >5 × LoQ detected micropollutants, rates slightly increasing addition. Phosphorus site most P-impacted discharge was >98% serial filters. long-term, optimization trials showed single 90% TP removals of compounds detected, but less than studies. decreased mean 86% during L/s, 12-month continuous stability trial, remained similar trial many efficient overall. >4.4 log reduction fecal coliforms E. coli sub-study suggests ability this address infectious disease concerns.

Biochar (BC) use in water treatment is a promising approach that can simultaneously help address societal needs of clean water, food security, and climate change mitigation. However, novel BC technology approaches require operational testing field pilot-scale scenarios to advance their readiness assessment. Therefore, the objective this study evaluate system performance integrated into hydrous ferric oxide reactive filtration (Fe-BC-RF) with without catalytic ozonation (CatOx) process laboratory scenarios. For investigation, Fe-BC-RF Fe-CatOx-BC-RF trials were conducted on synthetic lake variants at three municipal resource recovery facilities (WRRFs) flows 0.05 0.6 L/s, respectively. Three native two iron-modified BCs used these studies. The commercially available (Fe-RF BC) had 96%-98% total phosphorus (TP) removal from 0.075- 0.22-mg/L TP, as orthophosphate influent trials. With integration, yielded 94%-98% same process-influent conditions. In WRRF studies, removed 84%-99% concentrations varied 0.12 8.1 mg/L. Nutrient analysis showed recovered studies an increase TP its concentration, Fe-amended showing better P 110% than unmodified state, which was 16%. Lastly, successful destructive removals >90% for more 20 detected micropollutants, thus addressing critical human health environmental quality concern. research demonstrated integration Fe-CatOx-RF micropollutant removal, disinfection, nutrient encouraging tertiary sustainable recycling potential carbon-negative operation.
