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.

Facile one-step synthesis of functionalized biochar from sustainable prolifera-green-tide source for enhanced adsorption of copper ions.
TL;DR: The results indicated that biochars modified with ammonium phosphate displayed excellent adsorption performance toward copper ions, which was 7.6-fold higher than that of the pristine biochar.

Arsenic removal from water/wastewater using adsorbents—A critical review
Dinesh Mohan,Charles U. Pittman +1 more
TL;DR: Strong acids and bases seem to be the best desorbing agents to produce arsenic concentrates, and some commercial adsorbents which include resins, gels, silica, treated silica tested for arsenic removal come out to be superior.
