Biochar-based water treatment systems as a potential low-cost and sustainable technology for clean water provision.
362
TL;DR: Seven hypotheses for future research are highlighted under three themes: design and optimization of bio char water treatment; ecotoxicology and human health risks associated with contaminant transfer along the biochar-soil-food-human pathway, and life cycle analyses of carbon and energy footprints of biochar water treatment systems.
