“…Dexamethasone (glucocorticoid) has been recognized as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) of emerging concern used widely to treat chronic obstructive lung disorders. In the study, the surface area of the reported BC was found to be 2.14 m 2 g −1 which gave a removal efficiency of 53.02%, and a recorded sorption capacity of 0.744 mg g −1 within 180 min 85 . There is only limited work on pharmaceutical adsorption using BC derived from aquatic plants.…”

The Coronavirus disease pandemic over the last three years has shifted the attention of the entire world population from a self‐centred monitory growth to a holistic growth, with health and environment as the central focus. Pharmaceuticals and microplastics have emerged as most prominent environmental contaminants in recent times. Although adsorption is recognized globally as a low cost and effective remediation process, the removal of a variety of pollutants from environmental niche still remains a challenge. This review highlights the use of valorised waste aquatic biomass as an adsorbent for the withdrawal of various emerging pollutants (pharmaceuticals, microplastics and heavy metals). The unwanted invasive aquatic plants can be used as a valuable resource and converted into an ideal precursor and value product for the development of carbon‐based adsorbents that have numerous industrial and environmental applications. There lacks a comprehensive review and analysis on the use of biochar, derived from aquatic biomass, for the extraction of emerging pollutants, especially for microplastics. This distinctive, timely work will aid in the expansion of research on the production of biochar from a waste resource, strengthen their use as adsorbent and help combat the increasing pollution due to various emerging pollutants, including pharmaceuticals and microplastics.This article is protected by copyright.
