October 2024

Article Synopsis

Constant pollution from human activities harms water quality and availability, while agro-food waste contributes to climate change and other environmental issues.
Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) is highlighted as an innovative method to convert agro-food wastes into useful hydrochar-based adsorbents for removing contaminants from water.
The review emphasizes the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability of using these materials, supporting eco-friendly practices and resource management in future applications.
