The Production of Biochar and Its Impact on the Removal of Various Emerging Pollutants from Wastewater: A Review

mycolabadmin

Biochar is a charcoal-like material made from plant and animal waste through a heating process called pyrolysis. This material acts like a sponge that can trap harmful pollutants from contaminated water, including heavy metals, medicines, and pesticides. Scientists have developed various ways to improve biochar’s cleaning power, making it an affordable and environmentally friendly solution for purifying water.

Biochar Composite with Enhanced Performance Prepared Through Microbial Modification for Water Pollutant Removal

mycolabadmin

Scientists created a special type of charcoal (biochar) by using fungi to break down agricultural waste before processing it. This fungal-treated biochar is much better at removing pollutants like dyes, antibiotics, and heavy metals from water compared to regular biochar. The material can be reused many times, making it practical and cost-effective for cleaning contaminated water.

Nicotine Degradation by Trametes versicolor: Insights from Diverse Environmental Stressors and Wastewater Medium

mycolabadmin

Scientists tested whether a type of fungus called Trametes versicolor could break down nicotine pollution in wastewater. They found that the fungus successfully removed 80-99% of nicotine, especially when grown at comfortable temperatures (25°C) and neutral pH levels in wastewater-like solutions. This research suggests fungi could offer an affordable, environmentally-friendly way to clean up nicotine contamination in water systems, which is important since traditional wastewater treatments don’t completely remove nicotine.
