Biomass-derived activated carbons for the removal of pharmaceutical mircopollutants from wastewater: A review
Open accessAbstract
Abstract Biomass-derived activated carbons (biochars) have attracted great attention due to their excellent physicochemical properties such as high specific area, large pore volume, well-defined microporous structure and tunable surface chemistry. Although pharmaceuticals are an emerging class of micropollutants in wastewater through the sewerage disposal by pharmaceutical factories, hospitals and households, only a few recent studies have reviewed the adsorption and removal of pharmaceuticals from wastewater by biochars and they lack the systematic insights into total adsorption process from biochars preparation to adsorption mechanism. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review on recent publications and to propose future research directions. The effects of lignocellulosic biomass as well as the pyrolysis, activation and modification conditions on the physicochemical properties of biochars and their adsorption capacities are discussed. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms of different pharmaceuticals onto various biochars are analyzed based on commonly used models. Finally, the potential adsorption mechanisms of pharmaceuticals by biochars are summarized.

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.
