This review explores biochar’s potential as a sustainable and cost-effective solution for remediating organic pollutants, particularly polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) pesticides, in water. Biochar, carbon-rich material produced from biomass pyrolysis, has demonstrated adsorption efficiencies exceeding 90% under optimal conditions, depending on the feedstock type, pyrolysis temperature, functionalization. High surface area (up to 1500 m2/g), porosity, modifiable functional groups make biochar effective adsorbing wide range of contaminants, including toxic metals, nutrients. Recent advancements production, such chemical activation post-treatment modifications, have enhanced capacities, with engineered achieving superior performance treating industrial, municipal, agricultural effluents. However, scaling up applications laboratory research field-scale wastewater treatment poses significant challenges. These include inconsistencies variable environmental high cost large-scale logistical challenges handling deploying at scale, need integration existing systems. Such impact practical implementation biochar-based remediation technologies, requiring further investigation into production methods, long-term assessments, field-level optimization strategies. underscores importance addressing these barriers highlights offer sustainable, environmentally friendly, economically viable treatment.
