• The past, present, and future trends of biosorption (2010, background): “kr wastes, such as ash, or natural inorganic materials like clay, synthetic materials like zeolite, as well as, living or nonliving biomass/biomaterials, have been investigated as cheap adsorbents capable of replacing the well-known, but more expressive ones [8-15].”
• Carbon-based nanomaterials for removal of chemical and biological contaminants from water: A review of mechanisms and applications (2015, neutral): “However, this method often fails to meet regulatory requirements because of poor removal efficiency at low concentrations of heavy metals and slow adsorption rates [93–95].”
• Biochar-based materials and their applications in removal of organic contaminants from wastewater: state-of-the-art review (2019, background): “Among the different types of BCs, the production cost of woody BCs is approximately 91-329 US$ per tonne, which is only one-sixth that of commercial activated carbon (1500 US$ per tonne) (Galinato et al. 2011; Kurniawan et al. 2006), revealing the great potential in the future commercial application”
• Review on cadmium removal from aqueous solutions (2011, background): “A number of reviews have appeared highlighting the potential of low-cost adsorbents prepared from agricultural waste materials (Bailey et al., 1999; Babel and Kurniawan 2003 Kurniawan et al., 2006; Sud et al., 2008; Reddy et al., 2009).”
• Wood-based biochar for the removal of potentially toxic elements in water and wastewater: a critical review (2018, background): “[23,96,214]) reported that the estimated break-even price for biochar is US $246 ton.”
