Efficiency Recycling and Utilization of Phosphate from Wastewater Using LDHs-Modified Biochar.
Int J Environ Res Public Health
February 2023
The excessive application of phosphate fertilizers easily causes water eutrophication. Phosphorus recovery by adsorption is regarded as an effective and simple intervention to control water bodies' eutrophication. In this work, a series of new adsorbents, layered double hydroxides (LDHs)-modified biochar (BC) with different molar ratios of Mg and Fe, were synthesized based on waste jute stalk and used for recycling phosphate from wastewater.

- Researchers are focusing on carbon-based materials, specifically hydrochar-montmorillonite composites, for their potential to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to break down harmful organic pollutants.
- The study demonstrates that the hydrochar-montmorillonite composite (HC-Mt) is more effective in catalyzing PMS for the degradation of the herbicide dicamba compared to pure hydrochar due to its favorable properties.
- Results show that HC-Mt/PMS not only enhances the degradation process of dicamba through various chemical reactions but also significantly reduces its toxic effects on plants, offering a sustainable solution for both wastewater treatment and herbicide management.
