Biochar for Phosphate Removal from Water

Excess phosphate in water bodies can lead to eutrophication, causing algal blooms that reduce oxygen levels and threaten aquatic ecosystems. Removing phosphate from wastewater, agricultural runoff, and other point sources before they enter natural water systems is an essential strategy for preventing eutrophication. Biochar, a porous carbonaceous material produced by pyrolyzing biomass under oxygen-limited conditions, […]

Reuse and Recycling in Wastewater: Maximizing Resources Through Sustainable Practices

Reuse and recycling are essential components of modern waste management that contribute to environmental conservation and efficient resource utilization. By reusing materials, we extend the life cycle of products, reduce the need for new resources, and save energy. Recycling transforms waste into new products, diverting it away from landfills and incinerators. The process involves collecting, […]
