The lasting impact of ancestral energy production operations and global manufacturing has not only generated substantial CO2 emissions, but it also led to the release metal-based pollutants into Earth’s water bodies. As we continue engineer, mine (coal metals), now bore geothermal wells/fracking sites for alternative sources, contaminate drinking supplies with heavy metals through infiltration diffusion, limiting progress towards achieving Sustainable Development Goals 3 (Sustainable Goal 3: Good health well-being), 6 6: Clean sanitation), 14 14: Life below water), 15 15: on land). This review shows how research community designed developed mesoporous biochars customizable pore systems, as well functionalized biochars, extract various from sources. article investigates biochar materials (non-activated, activated, functionalized, or hybrid structures) can be adapted suit their purpose, highlighting recyclability/regeneration performance when remediating pollution in place conventional activated carbons. By utilizing wider circular economy, “waste-derived” carbonaceous will play a pivotal role purification both developed/developing world, where mining generate most contribution pollution. encompasses wide range activities that increased metal contamination supplies, elucidates emerging technologies augment environmental remediation activities, improving quality life standard living all.
