Emerging contaminants (ECs), a group of relatively low-concentration but high-toxicity
pollutants in the environment, have attracted widespread attention in recent years. These …

The biochar is a solid carbon-rich, porous material produced by the thermochemical
conversion of a diverse range of biomass feedstocks under an inert atmosphere (ie, in the …

There are challenges in developing multifunctional materials that can not only effectively
adsorb but also completely eliminate organic contaminants in water. In this work, novel …

Mn and N co-doped biochar (Mn-N-TS) was prepared as an effective catalyst to activate
peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for ciprofloxacin (CIP) degradation. As opposed to Mn-TS and N …

Biochar have received multidisciplinary attention because of their extraordinary
physicochemical properties. In this review, the application of biochar and biochar-based …

Biochar/layered double hydroxide (LDH) composites have gained considerable attention in
recent times as low-cost sustainable materials for applications in water treatment. This paper …

Much effort has been made to use biochar to catalyze organic solid waste conversion into
value-added products. Biochar has a high specific surface area and abundant functional …

Electron-rich iron sites are the main sites for iron-based catalysts to activate persulfate (PS)
to generate reactive species, while blocked Fe 2+/Fe 3+ cycling usually reduces the catalytic …

Soil is a fundamental part of successful agriculture, and its quality has to be improved to
maximize crop yield and soil fertility. To increase crop productivity and soil fertility, biochar …

Layered double hydroxide (LDH) materials were widely applied for adsorption and
photodegradation of pollutants for wastewater treatment. New efficient LDH materials with …
