Engineered biochar – A sustainable solution for the removal of antibiotics from water
Abstract
Abstract Antibiotic contamination and the spread of antimicrobial resistant bacteria are global environmental issues. Given the growing consumption of antibiotics, it is crucial to reduce their presence in the environment. Adsorption is one of the most efficient methods for removing contaminants from water and wastewater. For this process to be effective, it is of key importance to identify adsorption mechanisms that allow an efficient and selective adsorbent to be chosen. Carbon-based materials (including activated carbon, biochar and black carbon) are typically used for the adsorptive removal of antibiotics. To enhance the efficiency of adsorption of pharmaceuticals, engineered biochars (physically, chemically and biologically modified biochar) and their composites have attracted increasing interests. Biochar-based sorbents can be produced from various feedstocks, including waste products. The use of “green”, low cost or sustainable biochar for contaminant sorption yields economic and environmental benefits. Moreover, this is in line with global trends in creating a circular economy and sustainable development. This paper collates the most recent data on the consumption of antibiotics, their related environmental contamination, and their removal using biochar-based materials. Special attention is paid to the newly emerging approaches of biochar modification and biochar composites in relation to the antibiotic removal from water.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
