A Comprehensive review to explore the production of biochar and its impact and applicability in removal of various pollutants from wastewater

Abstract

Biotechnological advancements in recent years in the field of agrotechnology and for the sustainable development in farming practices naturally draw attention of scientists and researchers to discover the potential of biochar. Various studies shown biochar utilization for the elimination of pollutants from wastewater extensively during the past few decades. Biochar has demonstrated important benefits as a newly developed adsorbent with enormous potential to remove pollutants as well as their plentiful feedstock supplies, simple processing, and advantageous surface and structural qualities. A description of current developments in biochar utilization for wastewater treatment is summarized, along with a brief description of the process of adsorption for removing pollutants and the techniques for the modification of biochar like physical, chemical as well as biological methods. Additionally, to encourage the continued use of biochar materials in the effective treatment of inorganic and organic pollutants from wastewater The significant future prospects of the study are also presented along with the mechanism of adsorption onto biochar surface
