Advanced biochar hybrid systems for adsorptive removal of water contaminants: Progress, mechanisms, and future directions

Abstract Contamination of aquatic systems by organic materials, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, dyes, pesticides, and emerging pollutants is a pressing problem not only for aquatic systems but also for human health. Among the various treatment technologies, adsorption is among the...

Biochar amendments as a regenerative agriculture strategy for soil health restoration and sustainable millet production

Millet crops are primarily grown in marginal, nutrient-deficient, and increasingly arid regions, where declining soil health significantly limits productivity. Biochar is a carbon-rich byproduct of biomass pyrolysis that is being researched as a promising soil amendment to improv...
