“…In recent years, biochar has been evaluated as a highly effective, environmentally safe and costeffective adsorbent, which is used for water purification and removal of various contamination (Nguyen et al, 2021;Sutar et al, 2022). Biochar is produced by pyrolysis of organic raw materials under conditions in the absence or limitation of oxygen (Meyer et al, 2011).…”

In this study, biochar made from the Sesbania sesban plant, under slow pyrolysis at 300°C was used to adsorb methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solution. The biochar properties were clarified by diverse analytical methods such as FTIR, SEM, and BET. The results indicated that the surface of biochar was relatively smooth, had porous texture, and stacked evenly. In addition, the biochar had a large specific surface area of 561.8 m2/g and the pHpzc value was 6.9. The effect of adsorbent dosage, initial pH, contact time, and concentration of dye solution on biochar were investigated. The optimum conditions for MB adsorption were found at the MB concentration of 50 mg/L, initial pH of 11, biochar mass of 0.6 mg, and contact time of 30 min. Under these optimal conditions, MB dye removal efficiency was above 90%. Adsorption isotherm data were fitted with the Langmuir isotherm model (R2=0.897) suggesting the adsorption was monolayer, and its maximum adsorption capacity was about 6.6 mg/g. The adsorption kinetic models showed that the linear pseudo-second-order by R2=0.999 was well fitted. The results indicated the enormous potential of Sesbania sesban plant to produce biochar as a low-cost and rather high-effective adsorbent for dye removal from wastewater as well as water quality improvement.

“…Among them, adsorption is low-cost, easy to operate and highly efficient, and the adsorption process neither changes the structure of the dye nor produces secondary pollution, thus it is commonly accepted as a promising strategy for the removal of dyes in wastewater ( Zhu et al, 2020 ). Many adsorbents have been exploited, including minerals ( Anastopoulos et al, 2018 ), carbon materials ( Sutar et al, 2022 ), and biomass ( Sartape et al, 2017 ). However, the widespread use of adsorption emphasizes the need to explore low-cost and high-efficiency adsorbent.…”

Adsorption is commonly accepted as a most promising strategy in dye wastewater treatment, and the widespread use of adsorption emphasizes the need to explore low-cost but excellent adsorbents. Herein, a low-cost adsorbent (calcium-rich biochar) was developed, which was directly pyrolyzed from spent mushroom substate without any modification. This study evaluated the potential application of two calcium-rich biochars (GSBC and LSBC) derived from spent substrates of Ganoderma lucidum and Lentinus edodes, respectively. The effects of pyrolysis temperature on the calcium-rich biochars characteristics and their adsorption mechanism for cationic dyes (Malachite Green oxalate (MG) and Safranine T (ST)) were studied systematically. The increase in pyrolysis temperature from 350 to 750 °C led to an increase in both biochar ash, Ca content, and specific surface area, which made high-temperature biochars (GS750 and LS750) the superior adsorbents for cationic dyes. Batch adsorption results showed LS750 was more efficient to adsorb dyes than GS750 attributed to its higher Ca content and larger specific surface area. According to the Langmuir model, LS750 had high adsorption capacities of 9,388.04 and 3,871.48 mg g−1 for Malachite green and ST, respectively. The adsorption mechanism of dye MG could be attributed to pore filling, hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interaction, ion exchange, and π-π stacking, while ST adsorption mainly involved pore filling, electrostatic interaction, ion exchange, and π-π stacking. Attributed to their excellent adsorption performance, cheap source, and good reusability, biochars obtained from SMSs were very promising in dyeing wastewater treatment.

“…The application of biochar and biocharbased materials has been extensively investigated in the decontamination of environmental pollutants. Sutar et al (2022) summarized the recent works about the application of biochar for the adsorption of textile dyes from wastewater, and also described the photocatalytic degradation of dyes using modified biochar simply. The biochar could remove dyes efficiently from aqueous solutions.…”

The fast increase of population results in the quick development of industry and agriculture. Large amounts of contaminants such as metal ions and organic contaminants are released into the natural environment, posing a risk to human health and causing environment ecosystem problems. The efficient elimination of contaminants from aqueous solutions, photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants or the in-situ solidification/immobilization of heavy metal ions in solid phases are the most suitable strategies to decontaminate the pollution. Biochar and biochar-based composites have attracted multidisciplinary interests especially in environmental pollution management because of their porous structures, large amounts of functional groups, high adsorption capacities and photocatalysis performance. In this review, the application of biochar and biochar-based composites as adsorbents and/or catalysts for the adsorption of different contaminants, adsorption-photodegradation of organic pollutants, and adsorption-(photo)reduction of metal ions are summarized, and the mechanism was discussed from advanced spectroscopy analysis and DFT calculation in detail. The doping of metal or metal oxides is the main strategy to narrow the band gap, to increase the generation and separation of photogenerated e−-h+ pairs, to produce more superoxide radicals (·O2−) and hydroxyl radicals (·OH), to enhance the visible light absorption and to increase photocatalysis performance, which dominate the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants and (photo)reduction of high valent metals to low valent metals. The biochar-based composites are environmentally friendly materials, which are promising candidates in environmental pollution cleanup. The challenge and perspective for biochar-based catalysts are provided in the end. Graphical Abstract
