Hydrothermal process is an emerging technology that contributes to sustainable production
of biomass-derived chemicals, fuels, and materials. This technology uses hot compressed …

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

Antibiotics have been used in massive quantities for human and animal medical treatment,
and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are of great concern worldwide. Antibiotics and …

Antibiotic contamination and the spread of antimicrobial resistant bacteria are global
environmental issues. Given the growing consumption of antibiotics, it is crucial to reduce …

In this study, crayfish shell biochar (CSB) was modified by introducing vitamin C (VC) with
abundant surface functional groups. CSB was impregnated with VC at different ratios and its …

In this study, poplar wood biochar modified with Fe 3 O 4 (MPBC) was prepared using
poplar wood as carbon source applied to remove tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones. The …

Biochar has a high specific surface area with abundant pore structure and functional groups,
which has been widely used in remediation of cadmium or arsenic contaminated water and …

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 …

The activated bio-chars (AB) were successfully synthesized from rice husk by one-and two-
step KOH-catalyzed pyrolysis. The two-step pyrolysis can produce the high yields of AB …

Carbon dioxide (CO 2) is the main anthropogenic greenhouse gas contributing to global
warming, causing tremendous impacts on the global ecosystem. Fossil fuel combustion is …
