A Mini Review on Persulfate Activation by Sustainable Biochar for the Removal of Antibiotics

“…Considering the costs of biomass, KOH, electricity, and transport, the total cost of the biochar was USD 9.82/kg, which was lower than that of activated carbon (~USD 45.71/kg) sold in Henan Huasheng Charcoal Industry Ltd. (Henan, China), but higher than that of unmodified biochar. Future studies are expected to find ways to reduce the production costs of the functionalized biochar to satisfy the sustainability considerations [ 89 ]. It is also necessary to predict the cost of the biochar/PS system in application.…”

Scientometric analysis and scientific trends on biochar application as soil amendment

“…This can clearly reflect the potential contribution of biochar towards sustainable waste management by satisfying the stringent environmental regulations regarding the elimination of solid waste landfilling and conversion of a problematic substance into chemically stable product along with its potential for decontamination of polluted soils, mitigation of climate change and the possible increase in crop yield of the agricultural products. From these attractive aspects, it can be concluded that application of biochar as a soil amendment can be in compliance with the sustainable development goals, assigned by the United Nations [12][13][14]81], although more studies are required to deal with the existing uncertainties of some aspects of biochar application such as long-term effects of biochar in the soil as well as the most suitable feedstock, biochar production conditions and the optimum conditions for soil applications of biochar.…”

Applicability of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in the Sustainable Design of Commercial and Office Buildings. A Case Study from Tehran, Iran

“…36% of greenhouse gases are associated with the cities' mainly buildings (Campillo et al, 2016). In this situation, enhancing energy efficiency and moving towards achieving sustainable development goals (Kamali, 2020), as well as avoiding energy waste and promoting renewable energy production and consumption are among the attractive strategies to overcome the existing issues related to energy consumption and efficiency in buildings (Fernández-Maldonado et al, 2016;Kaygusuz, 2009).…”
