“…(Kwak et al, 2019; Shaheen et al, 2019), agricultural wastes (e.g., rice straw, coffee waste, canola straw, agricultural peels) (Islam et al, 2021; Kwak et al, 2019; Wijitkosum, 2022), municipal and industrial sludges (Chanaka Udayanga et al, 2019; Tarelho et al, 2020), and animal wastes (Kwak et al, 2019; Rehman et al, 2020) under low or no oxygen conditions (Huang et al, 2021). Recently, leaf‐based feedstocks have received increased attention because these materials are available in large quantities throughout the world, are cheap, and have been unused in many cases (Liu & Li, Chen, et al, 2022; Ma et al, 2019; Sahota et al, 2018). In addition, the leaf‐based biochars have excellent adsorption capacity to remove both organics and inorganics because of the presence of a higher number of oxygen‐containing surface functional groups such as phenol, hydroxyl, carboxyl, lactol, lactone, amino, nitro, and quinone (Jeirani et al, 2017; Ma et al, 2019).…”
