Biochar-supported photocatalysts for microplastics removal: mechanisms, material design, and pathways towards real-world applications

ABAhmad K. BadawiRHRaouf HassanBIBushra Ismail

Key Points

  • The aim is to explore the effectiveness of biochar-supported photocatalysts for removing microplastics from ecosystems.
  • Designed and synthesized biochar-supported photocatalysts
  • Examined the mechanisms of microplastics removal
  • Analyzed the adsorption of contaminants
  • Biochar-supported photocatalysts effectively reduced microplastics in laboratory settings
  • Demonstrated strong adsorption of hazardous contaminants by the photocatalysts
  • Suggest pathways for applying these materials in real-world scenarios

Abstract

Microplastics (MPs) persist in ecosystems, are dispersed over long distances, and readily adsorb hazardous contaminants, posing a critical global threat. Graphical abstract image created using Google Gemini.
