Biochar from waste biomass, its fundamentals, engineering aspects, and potential applications: an overview.

Environmental pollution control in the growing world is a challenging task for all the countries in order to keep the environmental sustainability. Biochar, a processed carbon material, draws a significant attention in the field of environmental remediation, as of its active functional groups that help remove environmental pollutants to a level insignificant to cause hazardous effects. As such, there is an increasing interest developed to promote highly productive biochar for exploring environmental engineering aspects.

Adsorptive behavior of engineered biochar /hydrochar for tetracycline removal from synthetic wastewater.

In this research, engineered biochar and hydrochar derived from paddy husk were compared for the adsorption tetracycline (TC) in water effluents. Biochar was produced at three different pyrolysis temperatures (e.g.
