Biochar for Environmental Remediation by Willis Gwenzi Book PDF Summary
Biochar for Environmental Remediation: Principles, Applications, and Prospects synthesizes state-of-the-art knowledge on biochar-based systems for environmental remediation. It examines a wide variety of biochar applications for the remediation of inorganic, organic, microbial and emerging contaminants in various environmental media including drinking water, industrial wastewater, urban stormwater, industrial and indoor air pollution, and contaminated lands and soils. Researchers, engineers, and graduate students can use this as a reference for understanding the opportunity for the use of biochar in environmental remediation. An increasing body of evidence shows that biochars have potential applications in environmental remediation of contaminants in soils, aqueous systems, and air pollution control. Biochar for Environmental Remediation: Principles, Applications, and Prospects fills the gaps in existing literature on the use of biochar for environmental remediation and offers a clear road map to guide future research. Using a systematic approach, the book covers biochar preparation, properties and characteristics, removal mechanisms, industrial applications, regeneration and disposal of spent biochar, lifecycle analysis, and environmental and human health risks.
