Biochar‐Supported Materials for Wastewater Treatment
The production of value‐added products from waste biomass is considered as one of the most emerging and promising options to substitute fossil fuels (oil, coal, petroleum, and natural gas) by renewable energy sources. Biomass as a key renewable energy sources can be easily valorized and transformed into biochar, biogas and biooil via robust, cost‐effective, simple processes, as well as under controlled operating parameters. On the other hand, soil amendment remains the most traditional and targeted application for biochar's production. However, owing to its unique physico‐chemical properties including porous structure, large surface area, high cation exchange capacity and diverse functional groups, biochar has also shown its efficiency in other environmental applications especially in wastewater treatment as an efficient and cost‐effective adsorbent for removing organic, inorganic and microbial contaminants. This chapter aims to provide a detailed description of biochar from the fundamental component, physico‐chemical properties to its application as a powerful adsorbent in the wastewater treatment field. Furthermore, due to some limitation of its use alone, the development of biochar‐supported materials has proven to be useful to overcome these problems and to enhance its pollutants removal capacity by creating a synergy of the advantages of biochar and other materials.
