Biochar-clay, biochar-microorganism and biochar-enzyme composites for environmental remediation: a review

Meixia Lin et al.

Summary: Worldwide pollution of waters and soils is becoming increasingly serious, requiring advanced decontamination methods such as adsorption of contaminants on biochar. Biochar is a carbon-negative material with many adsorptive properties. The recent development of biochar-supported composites shows more promising prospects, which involve preparation, mechanisms, biochar-clays, biochar-microorganisms, biochar-enzymes, and applications in adsorbing metals, nutrients, and organic contaminants.
