Application of modified magnetic biochar for degradation of organic dyes using advanced oxidation processes

Untreated wastewater released into the environment has caused water pollution for decades. Recently, researchers found that magnetic biochar could play a big role in combating water pollution especially textile wastewater due to its magnetic separation characteristic. In this study, various types of...
