Application and research progress of biochar in environment pollution control / Kaiyue Sun and Zijing Zhou

Biochar is a carbon-rich material with a wide range of raw materials, low cost, and environmental friendliness. It has a range of advantages such as high porosity and rich surface functional groups. Recently, the application of biochar to control environmental pollution and to improve soil quality have become increasingly widespread. To systematically summarize the application status, efficiency, shortage and development prospects of biochar in environmental pollution control, this article concludes the viewpoints from resent research of biochar materials in marine oil, soil pollution control and industrial wastewater, and made the prospect of biochar materials application in the environmental pollution control and remediation.
