Green metal oxides coated biochar nanocomposites preparation and its utilization in vertical flow constructed wetlands for reactive dye removal: Performance and kinetics studies.

Major causes of water pollution in the ecosystem are pollutants such as dyes which are noxious. The present study was based on the synthesis of the green nano-biochar composites from cornstalk and green metal oxide resulting in Copper oxide/biochar, Zinc oxide /biochar, Magnesium oxide/biochar, Manganese oxide/biochar, biochar for removal of dyes combined with the constructed wetland (CW). Biochar Augmentation in constructed wetland systems has improved dye removal efficiency to 95% in order of copper oxide/biochar > Magnesium oxide/biochar > Zinc oxide/biochar > Manganese oxide/biochar > biochar > control (without biochar) respectively in wetlands.
