associated with the land application of biosolids: a scoping review Elizabeth A. Pozzebon1 and Lars Seifert1* Open Access Abstract Background Over 40% of the six million dry metric tons of sewage sludge, often referred to as biosolids, produced annually in the United States is land ...
SludgeBiocharBoron-dopedElectro-FentonEmerging organic contaminantsThere has been extensive research on biochar materials in the field of adsorption, catalysis, etc. Hereon, we reported a gentle synthesis of electrode by abundant biomass of municipal sludge and cheap precursor of boric acid as carbon ...

In this study, various methods of adsorptive removal of antibiotics with their critical analysis and emphasis on the application of biochar (BC) and modified biochar derived from waste biomass have been comprehensively reviewed. Also, the antibiotic toxicity, preparation of biomass waste-derived BC ...

2021,Journal of Cleaner Production Review article Mechanisms and application of microalgae on removing emerging contaminants from wastewater: A review 1Introduction Emerging contaminants (ECs) are trace compounds or materials that are widely present in the environment and pose potential or actual risks to...
Among the conventional methods that have been used to treat municipal and industrial wastewater, the application of microbial mechanisms predominates. Some examples are the activated sludge process (ASP) and upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor.41 Generally, biological processes use fungi, alga...
