The promising characteristics of nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) have not been fully
exploited owing to intrinsic limitations. Carbon-enriched biochar (BC) has been widely used …

Conductive materials (CM) have been extensively reported to enhance methane production
in anaerobic digestion processes. The occurrence of direct interspecies electron transfer …

Biochar has been demonstrated to be a promising sorbent and its redox activity can be
involved in environmentally relevant redox reactions. In this study, the electron transfer for …

Organic, particularly nitro and chlorinated, contaminants are of great concern in ecosystem
for their contribution to environmental problems worldwide. Nitro contaminants are mostly …

Depicted as large polymers by the traditional model, humic substances (HS) tend to be
considered resistant to biodegradation. However, HS should be regarded as …

This study investigated the effects of metals (Fe3+, Cu2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+) and phenolic
compounds (PCs: hydroquinone, catechol, and phenol) loaded on biomass on the formation …

Biochar is chemically more reduced and reactive than the original feedstock biomass.
Graphite regions, functional groups, and redox-active metals in biochar contribute to its …

Soils and sediments worldwide contain appreciable amounts of thermally altered organic
matter (chars). Chars contain electroactive quinoid functional groups and polycondensed …

In this work, the potential benefits, economics, and challenges of applying biochar in water
treatment operations to remove organic and microbial contaminants was reviewed …

Biochar has emerged as a new class of biomass-derived functional materials that can be
obtained using a plethora of thermochemical conversion techniques. Biochar-based …
