Bamboo-Based Biochar: A Still Too Little-Studied Black Gold and Its Current Applications

Journal of Xenobiotics, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 14(1), С. 416 - 451

Опубликована: Март 20, 2024

Biochar (BC), also referred to as “black gold”, is a carbon heterogeneous material rich in aromatic systems and minerals, preparable by the thermal decomposition of vegetable animal biomasses controlled conditions with clean technology. Due its adsorption ability presence persistent free radicals (PFRs), BC has demonstrated, among other uses, great potential removal environmental organic inorganic xenobiotics. Bamboo an evergreen perennial flowering plant characterized short five-year growth period, fast harvesting, large production many tropical subtropical countries worldwide, thus representing attractive, low-cost, eco-friendly, renewable bioresource for producing BC. their surface area increased porosity, pyrolyzed derivatives bamboo, including bamboo biochar (BBC) or activated BBC (ABBC), are considered bio-adsorbent materials removing heavy metals, well contaminants from wastewater soil, improving yield. Nowadays, increasing technological applications ABBC include employment energy sources, catalyze chemical reactions, develop thermoelectrical devices, 3D solar vapor-generation devices water desalination, efficient photothermal-conversion devices. Anyway, although it alternative biomass wood produce BC, paving way new bio- circular economy solutions, study bamboo-derived still infancy. In this context, main scope review was support stimulate further studies about possible applications, enlarging current knowledge these allowing more rational, safer, optimized application. To end, after having provided background concerning methods, we have reviewed discussed on reported recent years.

Emerging Trends in Bioinspired Superhydrophobic and Superoleophobic Sustainable Surfaces

Advanced Materials, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Фев. 18, 2025

Abstract Inspired by nature's ability to master materials for performance and sustainability, biomimicry has enabled the creation of bioinspired structural color, superadhesion, hydrophobicity hydrophilicity, among many others. This review summarizes emerging trends in novel sustainable fluorocarbon‐free designs creating superhydrophobic superoleophobic surfaces. It discusses methods, challenges, future directions, alongside impact computational modeling artificial intelligence accelerating experimental development more surface materials. While significant progress is made materials, surfaces remain a challenge. However, bioinspiration techniques supported platforms are paving way new renewable biodegradable repellent that meet environmental standards without sacrificing performance. Nevertheless, despite concerns, policies, several still continue apply fluorination other environmentally harmful achieve required standard repellency. As discussed this critical review, paradigm integrates advanced characterization, nanotechnology, additive manufacturing, modeling, coming, generate with tailored superhydrophobicity superoleophobicity while adhering standards.

Agri-food waste biosorbents for volatile organic compounds removal from air and industrial gases – A review

The Science of The Total Environment, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 945, С. 173910 - 173910

Опубликована: Июнь 15, 2024

Approximately 1.3 billion metric tons of agricultural and food waste is produced annually, highlighting the need for appropriate processing management strategies. This paper provides an exhaustive overview utilization agri-food as a biosorbents elimination volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from gaseous streams. The review underscores critical role in context circular economy, wherein not viewed final product, but rather valuable resource innovative processes. perspective consistent with principles efficiency sustainability. Various types have been described effective biosorbents, methods preparation discussed, including thermal treatment, surface activation, doping nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur atoms. further investigates applications these adsorbing VOCs streams elucidates primary mechanisms governing adsorption process. Additionally, this study sheds light on regeneration, which key aspect practical applications. concludes commentary discussion future perspectives field, emphasizing more research innovation to fully realize potential economy. serves researchers practitioners interested use removal, marking significant first step toward considering aspects together.

Mitigation of asphalt volatile organic compounds emissions and health hazards using a TiO2-doped biochar composite: Microscopic and physiological insights

Environmental Technology & Innovation, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 36, С. 103763 - 103763

Опубликована: Июль 22, 2024

This study developed a novel TiO2-biochar composite as modifier for functional asphalt coatings, achieving dual objectives of reducing VOCs emissions and mitigating cytotoxicity. The enhanced the softening point by approximately 6℃, reduced penetration increased viscosity, thereby improving thermal stability deformation resistance. Headspace-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis confirmed an over 80 % reduction in VOC emissions, significantly release harmful compounds like alkanes, cycloalkanes, aromatic hydrocarbons, with modified UV-exposed (TUBC) demonstrating most pronounced effect. In vitro assays human bronchial epithelial (BEAS-2B) cells showed composite's cytotoxicity mitigation, TUBC maintaining higher cell viability. ROS levels expression cytotoxicity-associated biomarkers, suggesting decrease oxidative stress inflammation. high adsorption capacity its photocatalytic degradation under UV light were identified key mechanisms reduction. These findings collectively establish promising solution greener safer applications, potential global environmental health benefits. Future work will focus on further optimization field validation to facilitate adoption this technology infrastructure development worldwide.
