Environmental application of biochar: Current status and perspectives. (2017, background): “Such studies provide complementary information on interaction of pollutants with biochar, which could facilitate better understanding of functionality, type of interaction and adsorption capacity (Ahmed et al., 2016; Gonzalez et al., 2016; Xiao and Chen, 2016).”
Biochar-based materials and their applications in removal of organic contaminants from wastewater: state-of-the-art review (2019, background): “Calcination/heat treatment is another widely used physical activation strategy, mainly by further heating BCs at higher temperature (800–900 °C) for a while and then supplying air or argon to introduce functional groups on BCs (Ahmed et al. 2016; Lou et al. 2016).”
Recent advances in bio-based carbon materials for anaerobic digestion: A review (2021, positive): “…unique properties, such as adsorption, alkalinity, porous structure, large surface area and great ion-exchange ability [97], which can effectively prevent various type of environmental pollutants, such as organic and metal pollutants, and also reduce their ecotoxicity and bioavailability [98,99].”
