Exploring nano-biochar: An emerging therapy for soil health

BIOCHAR (BC), a carbon-rich material, is created by thermally decomposing agricultural solid waste in an oxygen-limited setting. Biochar converted into Nano biochar (nano-BC) by applying processes. In this process, the physical and chemical properties of this valuable material are enhanced, and waste management, energy production, soil remediation, and pollution emissions are decreased more profitably. Nano-BC can remove contaminants like heavy metals, organic compounds, and inorganic compounds from wastewater. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the properties and characterization of biochar and nano-modified biochar, and use of nano-modified biochar in environmental clean-up. As well as this review also discussed nano-modified biochar role to enhanced phytoremediation of emerging contaminants.

Abstract

BIOCHAR (BC), a carbon-rich material, is created by thermally decomposing agricultural solid waste in an oxygen-limited setting. Biochar converted into Nano biochar (nano-BC) by applying processes. In this process, the physical and chemical properties of this valuable material are enhanced, and waste management, energy production, soil remediation, and pollution emissions are decreased more profitably. Nano-BC can remove contaminants like heavy metals, organic compounds, and inorganic compounds from wastewater. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the properties and characterization of biochar and nano-modified biochar, and use of nano-modified biochar in environmental clean-up. As well as this review also discussed nano-modified biochar role to enhanced phytoremediation of emerging contaminants.
