Biochars as Adsorbents of Pesticides: Laboratory-Scale Performances and Real-World Contexts, Challenges, and Prospects
Thamiris Ferreira de Souza,
Guilherme Max Dias Ferreira
Abstract:Rising concerns about pesticide contamination in water bodies have driven the development of technologies to mitigate the water crisis. Recognized for its adsorption effectiveness and affordability, biochar is considered a sustainable adsorbent for water treatment. This review critically examines recent studies on biochar's application for pesticide removal. It addresses (i) the effectiveness of biochar and its relationship with pyrolysis conditions and modification strategies; (ii) mechanisms and properties c… Show more
