Mitigation of hazardous toluene via ozone-catalyzed oxidation using MnOx/Sawdust biochar catalyst

Renewable Carbonaceous Materials from Biomass in Catalytic Processes: A Review

“…Cha et al innovatively synthesized a catalytic system comprising manganese oxides (MnO x ) supported on biochar for the room-temperature ozone catalytic oxidation of toluene, an unprecedented endeavor in the literature. Their findings revealed a notable efficiency of 90%, albeit without achieving complete oxidation to CO and CO 2 [184].…”

Preparation of MnOx–Al2O3 aerogels and synergistic catalytic oxidation of toluene via ozone

“…The process is as follows: benzyl alcoholbenzaldehydebenzoic acidbenzenemaleic anhydrideshort-chain carbon species, which finally decompose into CO 2 and H 2 O. 56 The production and quenching process of active substances:…”

Multi-functionalization of woody biochar tuned for sustainable surface microbiological processes: a case study for energy applications

“…Recently, numerous strategic methodologies, including optimisation of pyrolysis conditions and temperature, activating agents, and pH, have been developed to tailor the physico-chemical properties of biochar. 15 Due to these tuneable properties, biochar finds diverse applications in many fields, including soil remediation, 16 carbon storage, 17 manure composting, 18 decontamination of water and waste water 19,20 by means of micro and macro filters, 21 biogas production, 22 detoxificants, 23 in the building sector, 24 air pollution management, 25 in textiles as a fabric addictive and flame-retardant clothing, 26 catalysts, 27 activators, 1 electrode materials, and modifiers. 28 It has also been reported that the stable porous matrix of the biochar acts as a good microenvironment for microorganisms.…”
