Biochar-based activation of peroxide: multivariate-controlled performance, modulatory surface reactive sites and tunable oxidative species

Jia Wang et al.

Summary: Biochar has emerged as a promising peroxide activator due to its chemical-saving/facile synthesis processes, high efficiency, and tunable physicochemical properties. However, there are serious knowledge gaps and controversies regarding the mechanism to modulate reactive sites on its surface and dominated reaction pathways. Insight understanding of the activation processes will significantly advance its application in practical wastewater treatment.

Sulphate in freshwater ecosystems: A review of sources, biogeochemical cycles, ecotoxicological effects and bioremediation

Dominik Zak et al.

Summary: Sulphate concentrations in freshwater have been increasing globally over the past few decades, but the extent of its impact on ecosystems remains poorly understood. Sources of sulphate pollution include natural processes like weathering and anthropogenic activities such as mining and agriculture, affecting biogeochemical processes and potentially harming aquatic organisms and human health. Solutions such as bioremediation systems and wetland restoration may help mitigate these impacts.

Comparative study on characterization and adsorption properties of phosphoric acid activated biochar and nitrogen-containing modified biochar employing Eucalyptus as a precursor

Ze Lu et al.

Summary: Biochar, as a green adsorbent, with high carbon content and unique structure properties, has attracted attention for its potential in heavy metal removal. In this study, activated biochar (AC) and ammonia modified biochar (NAC) were prepared from Eucalyptus waste for Cr(VI) removal. NAC showed higher removal efficiency compared to AC, and the adsorption mechanisms involved physical adsorption and chemical reduction.
