Efficient elimination of organic and inorganic pollutants by biochar and biochar-based materials

Biochar have received multidisciplinary attention because of their extraordinary physicochemical properties. In this review, the application of biochar and biochar-based materials for the efficient elimination of organic and inorganic pollutants are summarized. The sorption of organic chemicals and heavy metal ions/radionuclides, degradation/transformation of organic pollutants, and sorption–reduction–solidification of high-valent metal ions are...
