Application of Biochar as Functional Material for Remediation of Organic Pollutants in Water: An Overview

In recent years, numerous studies have focused on the use of biochar as a biological material for environmental remediation due to its low-cost precursor (waste), low toxicity, and diversity of active sites, along with their facile tailoring techniques. Due to its versatility, biochar has been emplo...
