Novel Approach to Photocatalytic Removal of Linezolid by Advanced Nano-Biochar/Bismuth Oxychloride Hybrid.

Herein, we introduce an innovative nanohybrid material for advanced wastewater treatment, composed of -derived biochar and bismuth oxychloride (Biochar/BiOC), demonstrated in a solar photoreactor. This work focuses on the efficient degradation of linezolid (LIN), a persistent pharmaceutical pollutant, utilizing the unique (photo)catalytic capabilities of the nanohybrid. Compared with its individual components, the biochar/BiOC hybrid exhibits a remarkable degradation efficiency of 82.

A novel Corchorus olitorius-derived biochar/BiOCl photocatalyst for decontamination of antibiotic wastewater containing tetracycline under natural visible light.

Herein, a novel composite of Corchorus olitorius-derived biochar and BiOCl was fabricated and utilized for the degradation of tetracycline (TC) in a solar photo-oxidation reactor. The morphology, chemical composition, and interaction between the composite components were studied using various analyses. The biochar showed a TC removal of 52.
