Fuel components such as benzene, toluene, and methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) are
frequently detected pollutants in groundwater resources. Ex-situ remediation technologies …

The increasing concern over emerging contaminants (ECs) in aqueous solutions is driven
by their potential risks to public health. Handling ECs becomes an urgent mission in the …

Groundwater contamination by inorganics creates serious health and environmental
problems. Therefore, efficient, low-cost, and environmentally friendly techniques are needed …

The removal of BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethyl-benzene and p-xylene) from contaminated
groundwater was evaluated by paper mill sludge-based activated carbon, prepared by …

Biochar pyrolysed at 300° C, 500° C, 700° C was modified by hydrochloric acid (HCl),
hydrofluoric acid (HF), sodium hydroxide (NaOH), hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2), nitric acid …

Four biochars from pyrolysis of poplar wood (biochar P) and tea (biochar T) at 450 and 750°
C have been tested in a first time as adsorbents for trichloroethylene (TCE) removal in …

Emerging contaminants (ECs), a group of relatively low-concentration but high-toxicity
pollutants in the environment, have attracted widespread attention in recent years. These …

Peat moss-derived biochars were produced at the pyrolytic temperatures of 300, 500, and
700° C and were tested for evaluating the removal efficiency of volatile organic compounds …

This review analyzes the preparation and characterization of biomass-derived carbons and
their application as adsorbents of emerging contaminants from water. The study begins by …

The present study investigated adsorptive removal of toluene and ethylbenzene from the
aqueous media via using biochar derived from municipal solid waste (termed “MSW-BC”) in …
