Development of Highly Efficient Heterogeneous Fe3O4‐Biochar Nanocomposite as Fenton‐like Catalysts for Degradation of Fast Green

“…Moreover, by highlighting the progress made in magnetic Fenton‐like catalysts and their applications in environmental remediation (wastewater treatment), the authors can contextualize their research and showcase how their study contributes to this rapidly evolving field. This comparison will not only demonstrate the novelty of the current work but also provide a broader perspective on the significance of magnetic catalysts for future wastewater treatment technologies [23,24,27–32] . Fe 3 O 4 is expected to be uniformly embedded on the biochar surface, forming Fe 3 O 4 ‐BC composites, where biochar acts as a dispersion medium for Fe 3 O4 and an activator for hydroxyl radical generation [3,33,34] …”

“…This comparison will not only demonstrate the novelty of the current work but also provide a broader perspective on the significance of magnetic catalysts for future wastewater treatment technologies. [23,24,[27][28][29][30][31][32] Fe 3 O 4 is expected to be uniformly embedded on the biochar surface, forming Fe 3 O 4 -BC composites, where biochar acts as a dispersion medium for Fe 3 O4 and an activator for hydroxyl radical generation. [3,33,34] Interest has grown in utilizing iron oxide and carboncontaining biochar in Fenton oxidation reactions.…”

“…Therefore, it is essential to find an environmental‐friendly material that can combine with Fe 3 O 4 to increase durability and catalyst performance. Synthesis of a Fenton‐like heterogeneous catalyst using Fe 3 O 4 and support of porous carbon materials such as graphene oxide, carbon nanotubes, activated carbon, and biochar is imperative owing to their higher surface area and specific pore structure that may prevent oxidation and aggregation [1,24–26] …”

“…Synthesis of a Fenton-like heterogeneous catalyst using Fe 3 O 4 and support of porous carbon materials such as graphene oxide, carbon nanotubes, activated carbon, and biochar is imperative owing to their higher surface area and specific pore structure that may prevent oxidation and aggregation. [1,[24][25][26] Among them, Biochar (BC) is a versatile carbon-containing material obtained through the thermal decomposition of lignocellulosic biomass, making it an ideal support material for iron oxides. Unlike activated carbon, biochar offers a larger surface area and various surface functionalities (e. g., À OH, À COOH, CÀ O/C=O), making it suitable for designing metal oxide nanocomposites.…”
